Mark 2:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Jesus answered, “When there is a wedding, the friends of the bridegroom are not sad while he is with them. They do not give up eating while the bridegroom is still there. ²⁰ But the time will come when the bridegroom will leave them. Then the friends will be sad and will give up eating.

²¹ “When a person sews a patch over a hole on an old coat, he never uses a piece of cloth that is not yet shrunk. If he does, the patch will shrink and pull away from the coat. Then the hole will be worse.
