Mark 2:20

On Fasting

¹⁹ Jesus answered them, "Can the companions of the groom fast while the groom is still with them? As long as they have the groom with them they cannot fast. ²⁰ But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast at that time. ²¹ "No one sows a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, because what was supposed to cover the hole [actually] makes it larger. The new [piece of cloth] tears away from the old one and the hole is made worse.
