*
Again they said unto him . "
Why do the disciples of Johnfast frequently ,
and make supplications ,
as also do the disciples of the Pharisees ,
but your disciples are eating and drinking ?"
* "
Can you make the bridal party fast ,"
he asked ,
while the bridegroom is still with them ?
* "
But there is coming a day when the Bridegroom will have been taken away from them ;
then at that time they will fast ."
*
He also told them a parable . "
No one ,"
he said , "
tears a piece from a new garment ,
and patches it upon an old one ;
otherwise he will tear the new garment ,
and the patch from the new will not mend the old .
* "
Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins ;
otherwise the new wine will burst the skins ,
and will itself be spilled ,
and the skins be destroyed
* "
But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins
* "
And no man after drinking old wine ,
wishes for new ;
for he says , "
The old is better .""
