And having gone, learn what is this, I wish mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance. Then came to him the disciples of John; saying, Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said to them, The sons of the nuptial chamber cannot mourn inasmuch as the bridegroom is with them; but the days shall come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast. And no one puts on a cover of uncombed fragment upon an old garment, for its filling takes away from the garment, and the division is Worse. Neither do they cast new wine into old wineskins: but if otherwise, the wine-skins burst, and the wine is poured out, and the wine-skins are destroyed; but they cast new wine into new wine-skins, and they are both preserved.

And the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees fast, and the disciples to thee fast not? And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the nuptial-chamber, in which the bridegroom is with them, fast? as much time as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. And the days shall come when the bridegroom should he taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. And none sews a piece of uncombed fragment upon an old garment; and lest its new filling-up take away from the old, and the splitting be worse. And none puts new wine in old wine-skins: and lest the new wine rend the wine-skins, and the wine be poured out, and the wine-skins perish; but they put new wine in new wine-skins.

I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance. And they said to him, Wherefore do the disciples of John fast frequently, and make prayers, and likewise they of the Pharisees; and they to thee eat and drink And he said to them, Ye cannot make the sons of the nuptial-chamber fast, when the bridegroom is with them. But the days will come also, when the bridegroom shall be carried away from them; then shall they fast in those days. And he also spake to them a parable; That none put a piece of new garment, upon an old garment; and if not so, the new also splits, and the piece from the new agrees not with the old. And none put new wine into old wineskins; and if not so, the new wine bursts the wine-skins, and it will be poured out, and the wine-skins will perish. But new wine cast into new wine-skins; and both are kept. And none drinking old, quickly desires new, for he says, The old is better.
