Mark 2:19-22

19 And Jesus said to them, ^a“Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 ^bThe days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and ^cthen they will fast in that day. 21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old ^dwineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.” ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit But new wine is for fresh wineskins}
