Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ The disciples of John as well as the Pharisees were fasting. They came and said to Jesus, "Why is it that the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not fasting?" ¹⁹ Jesus replied, "Can guests at a wedding fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. ²⁰ But days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast, in those days. ²¹ No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old coat. For the patch will break away, the new from the old, and a worse tear will be made. ²² No one pours new wine into old wine-skins. For the wine will burst the skins, and both wine and skins will be lost."
