But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. ¹⁶ But no one puts^k Lit that which is put ona patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for^l Lit that which fills up*the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results. ¹⁷ Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”	14 Luk 18:12
