18 Now John’s (YHWH is gracious) disciples (pupils) and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your⁺ disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees? 19 Jesus (YHWH saves) replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them? As long as He is with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast. 21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.” Mark 2:18-22, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
