Then the disciples of John came to him ,
saying , »
Why do we and the Pharisees fast ,
but your disciples do not fast ?«
*
And Jesus said to them , »
Can the guests of the bridegroom mourn as long as he is with them ?
The days will come ,
when the bridegroom will be taken away from them ,
and then they will fast .
*
No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment ,
for the patch pulls away from the garment ,
and the tear is made worse .
*
Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins ;
if they do ,
the skins burst ,
and the wine is spilled ,
and the skins are ruined .
But they put new wine into new wineskins ,
and so both are preserved .«
