Do not pour new wine into old wineskins.

 
 16 "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.

17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out, and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."

 

 21 "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If they do, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse.

22 And people do not pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins."

 

36 He told them this parable: "No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. If they do, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old.

37 And people do not pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.

38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.

39 And none of you, after drinking old wine, wants the new, for you say, 'The old is better.' "

 

새 천을 덧데 꿔매면 헌 천보다 질겨 잘 늘어 나지 않는 관계로 헌 천이 쉽게 찢어진다.

가죽으로 만든 술 포대가 오래 되면 낡아 찢어 지기 쉽다. 새 술은 아직 발효가 진행중이라 팽창중으므로 새 포대에 넣어야만 염려 놓인다.

 

구약의 시대가 거하고 신약의 시대가 래하도다. 하는 뜻임.

 

모든 새로운 변화를 위해서는 구 시대의 것을 탈피하고 새로운 것만 가지고 나가라는 뜻.

 

고장이 잦거나

중요 부품이 고장 나면

새 것으로 바꾸어라.

옛 것에 길 들어져 있으나 옛 것은 쓸모 없어지고

새 것이 더 좋음을 알게 될 것이다.
