Luke 5:35

35 The dayes will come whe the brydgrome shalbe take awaye from them: then shall they fast in those dayes

Luke 5:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:35

But the days will come
And that in a very little time, as they did:

when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them:
as their master, John, was taken away from them, and now in prison, and therefore it was no wonder they mourned and fasted; signifying, that in a short time he, the bridegroom of his church and people, should be taken away by death:

and then they shall fast in those days;
mourn, and be humbled, of which fasting was, a sign, for the death of their Lord, and on account of the many afflictions and persecutions they should endure for his sake; (See Gill on Matthew 9:15).

35 The dayes will come whe the brydgrome shalbe take awaye from them: then shall they fast in those dayes

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:
