Mark 2:19-21

The Voice

Jesus: ¹⁹ Guests at the wedding can’t fast when the bridegroom is with them. It would be wrong to do anything but feast. ²⁰ When the bridegroom is snatched away from them, then the time will come to fast and mourn.

²¹ These are new things I’m teaching, and they can’t be reconciled with old habits. Nobody would ever use a piece of new cloth to patch an old garment because when the patch shrinks, it pulls away and makes the tear even worse.
