Jesus Is Not Like Other Religious Leaders
33 They said to Jesus, “John’s followers often fast and pray, the same as the followers of the Pharisees.
But your followers eat and drink all the time.”
34 Jesus said to them,
“At a wedding you can’t ask the friends of the bridegroom to be sad and fast while he is still with them.
35 But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them.
Then his friends will fast.”
36 Jesus told them this story:
“No one takes cloth off a new coat to cover a hole in an old coat.
That would ruin the new coat, and the cloth from the new coat would not be the same as the old cloth.
37 Also, no one ever pours new wine into old wineskins.
The new wine would break them.
The wine would spill out, and the wineskins would be ruined.
38 You always put new wine into new wineskins.
39 No one who drinks old wine wants new wine.
They say, ‘The old wine is just fine.’”

Luke 5:33-39 (ERV)

The Question about Fasting
33 Some people said to Jesus, “The disciples of John fast frequently and offer prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same; but your disciples eat and drink.”
34 Jesus answered, “Do you think you can make the guests at a wedding party go without food as long as the bridegroom is with them? Of course not!
35 But the day will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.”
36 Jesus also told them this parable: “You don’t tear a piece off a new coat to patch up an old coat. If you do, you will have torn the new coat, and the piece of new cloth will not match the old.
37 Nor do you pour new wine into used wineskins, because the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will pour out, and the skins will be ruined.
38 Instead, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins!
39 And you don’t want new wine after drinking old wine. ‘The old is better,’ you say.”

Luke 5:33-39 (GNT)
