Luke 5:33-39

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³³ And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees in like manner; but thine eat and drink?

³⁴ To whom he said: Can you make the children of the bridegroom fast, whilst the bridegroom is with them?

³⁵ But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then shall they fast in those days.

³⁶ And he spoke also a similitude to them: That no man putteth a piece from a new garment upon an old garment; otherwise he both rendeth the new, and the piece taken from the new agreeth not with the old.

³⁷ And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the new wine will break the bottles, and it will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost.

³⁸ But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

³⁹ And no man drinking old, hath presently a mind to new: for he saith, The old is better.
