New Testament

Luke 5:32-39 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

32. “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

33. And they said to Him, “Why do the taught ones of YohÌ£anan fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?”

34. And He said to them, “Are you able to make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

35. “But days shall come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.”

36. And He also spoke a parable to them, “No one puts a piece from a fresh garment on an old one, otherwise the fresh one makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the fresh one does not match the old.

37. “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the new wine shall burst the wineskins and run out, and the wineskins shall be ruined.

38. “But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

39. “And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new wine, for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”
