NASB | Mark 2:22 "No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 2:22 "No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the [fermenting] wine will [expand and] burst the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the wineskins. But new wine must be put into new wineskins." |
Bible Question: Can someone please explain to me what the parable of the old/new wineskins means? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Osis, Mark 2:22 "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins." (NKJV) What this verse means is that the "Newly made and unused wineskins provided the necessary strength and elasticity to hold up as wine fermented." (1) An old skin, already stretched, would break. "Jesus offered two parables to illustrate that his new and internal gospel of repentance from and forgiveness of sin could not be connected to or contained in the old and external traditions of self-righteousness and ritual.." (1) I hope that this helps with actually understanding the verse. Blessings to you, Makarios (1) MacArthur Study Bible, pg. 1462, copyright 1997 Word Publishing |
