Matthew 9:14-17 Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying,––Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying,––Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not? ¹⁵ And Jesus said unto them,––Can, the sons of the bridechamber, mourn, so long as, the bridegroom, is, with them? But days will come, when the bridegroom, shall be taken from them, and, then, will they fast. ¹⁶ Howbeit, no one, layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth, upon an old garment,––for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and, a worse rent, is made. ¹⁷ Neither pour they new wine into old skins: otherwise at least, the skins are burst, and, the wine, runneth out, and, the skins, are spoiled,––but they pour new wine into unused skins, and, both, are together preserved.
