33 Some of the people who were there said to Jesus, "John's disciples often pray and go without eating. So do the disciples of the Pharisees. But yours go on eating and drinking."
34
Jesus answered, "Can you make the guests of the groom go without eating while he is with them?
35
But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. In those days they will fast."
36
Then Jesus gave them an example. He said, "People don't tear a patch from new clothes and sew it on old clothes. If they do, they will tear the new clothes. Also, the patch from the new clothes will not match the old clothes.
37
People don't pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the new wine will burst the skins. The wine will run out, and the wineskins will be destroyed.
38
No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.
39
After people drink old wine, they don't want the new. They say, 'The old wine is better.' "
