Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

οὐδεὶς & ἐπιβάλλει ἐπίβλημα ῥάκους ἀγνάφου ἐπὶ ἱματίῳ παλαιῷ; αἴρει γὰρ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱματίου, καὶ χεῖρον σχίσμα γίνεται

no_one & /is/_putting_on /a/_patch ˱of˲_cloth unshrunken on /a/_garment old /is/_tearing_away for the patch ˱of˲_it from the garment and /a/_worse tear /is/_becoming

To help John’s disciples understand why his own disciples do not fast, Jesus offers another brief illustration. He wants John’s disciples to think of the new things that he teaches and does as a patch of unshrunk cloth and of the current ways of doing things as if they were an old garment. You should preserve the form of the parable, but if it would be helpful in your language, you could state explicitly that what Jesus does and teaches is like the patch of unshrunk cloth, and the normal way of doing things is like an old garment. Alternate translation: [no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for its patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear happens. What I say and do is like the unshrunk cloth, and the normal way of doing things is like an old garment]
