Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UST Similarly, people do not put fresh wine into old skin bags to store it. If they did that, the skin bags would tear open because they would not stretch when the fresh wine fermented and expanded. That would ruin the skin bags, and the wine would spill out. On the contrary, people put fresh wine into new skin bags. That way, they do not ruin the wine and the bags.

T4T Neither does anyone pour freshly-squeezed grape juice into old skin bags to store it. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} on the ground. Instead, people put new wine into new skin bags, and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments. As a result, both the wine and the bags are preserved.”

LEB Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise[fn] the wineskins burst and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are destroyed. But they put new wine into new wineskins and both are preserved.”

To help John’s disciples understand why his 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 new wine and of the current ways of doing things as if they were old wineskins. 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 new wine, and the normal way of doing things is like old wineskins. Alternate translation: [Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins. But if not, the skins are burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are destroyed. Instead, they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved. What I say and do is like the new wine, and the normal way of doing things is like the old wineskins.]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

οὐδὲ βάλλουσιν & βάλλουσιν

nor ˱they˲_/are/_putting & ˱they˲_/are/_putting

Here, the pronoun they refers to people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that refers generally to people. Alternate translation: [Likewise, no one puts … a person puts]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

εἰ δὲ μή γε

if and not surely

Here, the phrases But if not introduces what would happen if people actually did put new wine into old wineskins. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: [Otherwise] or [But supposing that they actually do that]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

/are_being/_burst the wineskins and the wine /is_being/_poured_out and the wineskins /are_being/_destroyed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the new wine bursts the skins, and the wine spills out, and the wineskins become useless]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ῥήγνυνται οἱ ἀσκοί

/are_being/_burst the wineskins

Here Jesus implies that the new wine, when it ferments, will expand and burst the skins, which are old and so no longer able to stretch. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [when the wine ferments, the skins cannot stretch and are burst]

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

both

Here, the word both refers to the new wine and the fresh wineskins. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [both wine and wineskins]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀμφότεροι συντηροῦνται

both /are_being/_preserved

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that preserves both] or [both are safe]
