Mark 2:19-21

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹⁹ And Jesus said to them, “The sons of the wedding-hall^[a] cannot be fasting while the bridegroom is with them, can they? As long a time as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot be fasting. ²⁰ But days will come when the bridegroom is taken-away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 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^[b] takes place.
