34

And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

35

And he spake also a parable unto them No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new agreeth not with the old.

37

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

38

But new wine must be put into new bottles and both are preserved.

39

No man also having drunk old [wine] straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
