Matthew 9:15-17
New Life Version
15 Jesus said, “Can the friends at a wedding be sorry when the man just married is with them? But the days will come when the man just married will be taken from them. Then they will not eat food so they can pray better.
16 “No one sews a piece of new cloth on an old coat, because if the new piece pulls away, it makes the hole bigger. 17 Men do not put new wine into old skin bags. If they did, the skins would break and the wine would run out. The bags would be no good. They put new wine into new skin bags and both can be used.”

Matthew 9:15-17
New International Version
15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?(A) The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.(B)
16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
