Mat 9:16-17, Mar 2:21-22, Luk 5:36-39 | BSB | STEP | No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.

Matthew 9:16-17

The Patches and the Wineskins

16 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result. 17 Neither do [men] pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Mark 2:21-22

The Patches and the Wineskins

21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the [new] piece will pull away from [the] old, and a worse tear will result. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and [both] the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine [is poured] into new wineskins.” ^{▼▼Tischendorf and some other texts do not include Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins}

Luke 5:36-39

The Patches and the Wineskins

36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment [and] sews [it] on an old [one] . If he does, he will tear the new [garment] as well, and [the] patch from the new will not match the old. 37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, [the wine] will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins. 39 And no one after drinking old [wine ] wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
