New Testament

Mark 2:19-24 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

19. Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

20. But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day.

21. No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse.

22. Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins.”

23. As he was passing through a field of grain on the sabbath, his disciples began to make a path while picking the heads of grain.

24. At this the Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?”
