Mark 2:22

New life and rebirth

20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result.

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”

23 One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.

24 So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
