| 18 Now John\'s disciples and the Pharisees were
fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus,
\"How is it that John\'s disciples and the disciples
of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?\"
19 Jesus answered, \"How can the guests of the
bridegroom fast while he is with them? They
cannot, so long as they have him with them.
20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will
be taken from them, and on that day 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, making the tear worse.
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. No,
he pours new wine into
new wineskins.\"
