18 It was customary for the Pharisees, and the disciples of John, to fast; they came therefore and ask'd him, why do John's disciples, and the Pharisees fast so frequently, and not your disciples? 19 Jesus answered, can the bridemen fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 but the time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast. 21 indeed no man ever sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: because the new piece that is patch'd on, draws the old, and rends it still worse. 22 so no man pours new wine into old skins, for that would burst them, and then both would be lost: but new wine must be put into new skins.
