Mark 2:18-22

The disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fasted. Some of them came to JESUS and asked, "Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?" And JESUS said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But the day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.
No one uses a piece of new cloth to patch up an old garment, because if they do, it will shrink when washed and tear away from the old, making the hole worse than before.
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, because if they do, the new wine will cause the skins to burst. The wine will pour out, and the wineskins will be ruined. New wine must be put into fresh wineskins."
