‏ Matthew 9:14-17

The Question about Fasting

14 Then 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 groom cannot mourn as long as the groom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the groom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 But no one puts 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.”
