Matthew 9:14-17
The Question about Fasting
14Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, “Why do we and athe Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?” 15And Jesus said to them, “The ▼▼ Lit sons of the wedding place
attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16“But no one puts ▼▼ Lit that which is put on
a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for ▼▼ Lit that which fills up
the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results. 17“Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
