9:14 Yeshua is asked about fasting

(Mark 2:18-22, Luke 5:33-39)

14 Then the disciples of Yohan approached Yeshua and said, “How come that we and the Pharisees fast regularly, but your disciples don’t fast?”

15 And Yeshua replied to them, “Surely the groomsmen aren’t sad while the groom is with them? But the time will come when the groom has to leave them and then they will fast.

16 No one patches old clothes with new material because the patch will shrink and the clothes would end up with a worse hole. 17 And they don’t put new wine into an old container, otherwise the container could split and be ruined and the wine would be lost. Rather they put new wine into a new container and both survive.”

14 Then the apprentices/followers of _Yōannaʸs are _approaching to _him saying:
For/Because_ why _reason we and the Farisaios_party are _fasting, but the apprentices/followers of _you are_ not _fasting?
15 And the Yaʸsous said to _them:
The sons of _the bridal _chamber are_ not _being _able to _be _mourning, because/for as _long _as the bridegroom is with them?
But days will _be _coming whenever the bridegroom may _be _taken _away from them, and then they _will _be _fasting.
16 But no _one is _putting _on a_patch of_ unshrunken _cloth on a_ old _garment, because/for the patch of _it is _tearing _away from the garment, and a_worse tear is _becoming.
17 Nor are _they _putting new wine into old wineskins, and if not surely, the wineskins are _being _burst, and the wine is _being _poured _out and the wineskins are _being _destroyed.
But they _are _putting new wine into new wineskins, and both are _being _preserved.
