Questions About Fasting and the New Way

33

And they said unto him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications--in like manner also those of the Pharisees--but thine do eat and drink?'

34

And he said unto them, `Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber--in the bridegroom being with them--to fast?

35

but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.'

36

And he spake also a simile unto them--`No one a patch of new clothing doth put on old clothing, and if otherwise, the new also doth make a rent, and with the old the patch doth not agree, that is from the new.

37

`And no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;

38

but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are preserved together;

39

and no one having drunk old wine , doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.'
