# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Jesus continues to answer the question that disciples of John had asked.
|
|
|
|
# Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins
|
|
|
|
Jesus uses another proverb to answer John's disciples. This means the same as the proverb in [Matthew 9:16](../09/16.md).
|
|
|
|
# Neither do people put
|
|
|
|
"Neither does anyone pour" or "People never put"
|
|
|
|
# new wine
|
|
|
|
This refers to wine that has not fermented yet. If grapes are unknown in your area, use the general term for fruit. Alternate translation: "grape juice" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-unknown]])
|
|
|
|
# old wineskins
|
|
|
|
This refers to wineskins that have stretched and dried out because they were already used for fermenting wine.
|
|
|
|
# wineskins
|
|
|
|
"wine bags" or "skin bags." These were bags made out of animal skins.
|
|
|
|
# the wine will be spilled, and the wineskins will be destroyed
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "and this will ruin the wineskins and spill the wine" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# the skins will burst
|
|
|
|
When the new wine ferments and expands, the skins tear open because they can no longer stretch out.
|
|
|
|
# fresh wineskins
|
|
|
|
"new wineskins" or "new wine bags." This refers to wineskins that no one has used.
|
|
|
|
# both will be preserved
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "this will keep safe both the wineskins and the wine" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
