OET (OET-LV) And he_was_ also _speaking a_parable to them:
that No_one having_torn a_patch of a_ new _garment, is_putting_on it on a_ old _garment, but if not surely both the new will_be_tearing, and the patch which of the new not will_be_agreeing_together with_the old.
OET (OET-RV) Then he went on to tell them this parable, “No one repairs their old clothes by putting on a patch of new material. If they did, the new patch will likely tear off again, plus it wouldn’t look right anyway.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parables
ἔλεγεν δὲ καὶ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς
˱he˲_/was/_speaking and also /a/_parable to them
Jesus gives a brief illustration that teaches something true in a way that is easy to understand and remember. Alternate translation: [Then he gave them this illustration to help them understand better]
ἐπιβάλλει ἐπὶ ἱμάτιον παλαιόν
/is/_putting_on_‹it› on /a/_garment old
Alternate translation: [uses it to patch an old garment]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
εἰ δὲ μή γε
if but not surely
Jesus uses this expression to introduce a hypothetical situation that explains the reason why a person would not actually mend a garment in that way. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: [Suppose someone did do that]
5:36-38 a new garment . . . new wine: New cloth shrinks when washed and so tears the old; new wine expands with fermentation and breaks brittle old wineskins. In either case, both old and new are ruined. Both illustrations make the point that the old is incompatible with the new. Jesus did not come to patch up the old covenant, but to establish a new one. The Kingdom of God brings a whole new orientation to thinking and living.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
