Luke 5:38

38 But newe wyne must be poured into newe vessels and bothe are preserved.

Luke 5:38 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:38

But new wine must be put into new bottles
Such as the disciples of Christ were, and sinners called to repentance are, who are renewed by the Spirit and grace of God: and these are filled with spiritual joy and comfort, as with new wine, arising from discoveries of the love of God, a view of interest in the blessings of the covenant, and an application of Gospel truths and promises.

And both are preserved;
both these renewed ones, who are preserved unto the kingdom and glory of Christ; and the grace that is put into them, which is a well of living water, springing up to everlasting life; as well as the Gospel, and its blessings.

Luke 5:38 In-Context

36 Then he spake vnto them in a similitude: No ma putteth a pece of a newe garment in to an olde vesture: for yf he do: then breaketh he the newe and the pece that was taken out of the newe agreeth not wt the olde.

37 Also no ma poureth newe wyne into olde vessels. For yf he do the newe wyne breaketh the vessels and runneth out it silfe and the vessels perisshe:

38 But newe wyne must be poured into newe vessels and bothe are preserved.

39 Also no man yt drinketh olde wine strayght waye can awaye with newe for he sayeth ye olde is plesauter.
