  1. Mark 2:22 Other ancient authorities omit but new wine is for fresh skins

20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them,(A) and on that day they will fast.

21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
