21 "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment ; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old , and a worse tear results . 22 "No one puts new wine into old wineskins ; otherwise the wine will burst the skins , and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins ."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 2:21-22
Commentary on Mark 2:18-22
(Read Mark 2:18-22)
