31 but Jesus replied, they that are in health don't want a physician: but they that are sick. 32 I came not to call saints, but sinners to repentance. Then they ask'd him, how comes it that John's disciples, 33 and likewise those of the Pharisees, are frequently fasting and praying, while yours are employed in eating and drinking? 34 to which he answered, would you have the bridemen fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 35 however, the time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they will have occasions enow of fasting. 36 Besides, he applied this similitude to them, no man, said he, puts a piece of new cloth upon an old coat: if he does, the new will strain the old, and they will by no means suit one another. 37 nor will any one put new wine into old skins: if they do, the new wine will burst the skins, and wine and skins be all lost. 38 but new wine must be put into new skins, and both will be preserv'd. 39 so no-body that has been drinking old wine, will immediately call for new: for 'tis his maxim, "the old is best." Luke 5:31-39, Mace New Testament. Public domain.
