Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Mark 2:21-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
21 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise the fullness [of the patch] takes from it— the new from the old— and a worse tear[a] takes place. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the wine will burst the wineskins, and the wine is lost, and the wineskins. But one puts new wine into fresh[b] wineskins”.
The Disciples Pluck Grain On The Sabbath. I Am Lord of The Sabbath
23 And it came about that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way while plucking[c] the heads [of grain].

- Mark 2:22 Jesus cannot be contained within the worn-out Jewish system. A new system is needed.
- Mark 2:23 This was permitted under the Law, Deut 23:25. The Pharisees object because it was the Sabbath.
