13.       Renew

9:14-17

            New wines, new skins

 

9:14-17 then the disciples of John were approaching saying “Why do we and the Pharisees fast but your disciples do not fast?”  And Jesus said to them.  "Can the sons of the bride chamber mourn while the bridegroom is still with them.  The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away and then they will fast. 

No one puts a patch of unfulled cloth on an old garment for to pulls away from the garment and there is a worse tear.  Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins.  Otherwise the wineskins are burst and the wine is poured out and the wineskins are destroyed.  Rather they put new wine into fresh wineskins and both are preserved."
