Now John '
s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting .
And people came and said to him , »
Why do John
s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast ,
but your disciples do not fast ?«
*
And Jesus said to them , »
Can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them ?
As long as they have the bridegroom with them ,
they cannot fast .
*
But the days will come ,
when the bridegroom will be taken away from them ,
and then they will fast in that day .
* »
No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment ;
if he does ,
the new piece will pull away from the old ,
and the tear is made worse .
*
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins ;
if he does ,
the wine will burst the skins ,
and the wine is lost and the wineskins are ruined .
But new wine must be put into new wineskins .«
