Luke 5:37

Verse 37 of 39. The 5th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

33They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”

34He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

35But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”

36He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.

37No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.

38But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

39No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
