Matthew 9:17

Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

-plainly announced that liberty which distinguishes the new covenant, and the new wine which is put into new bottles,[540]

Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

o profess that man is the workmanship of an author of this character? But, again, if man consists both of soul and of body, and not merely of body without soul, and if the one cannot subsist apart from the other, why will you assert that these two are antagonistic and contrary to each other? For our Lord Jesus Christ, indeed, seems to me to have spoken of these in His parables, when He said: "No man can put new wine into old bottles, else the bottles will break, and the wine run out."[154]

Acts of Saint Philip the Apostle When He Went to Upper Hellas

And Philip answering, said to them: O philosophers of Hellas, if you wish to hear some new thing, and are desirous of something new, you ought to throw away from you the disposition of the old man; as my Lord said, It is impossible to put new wine into old bottles, since the bottle is burst, and the wine spilled, and the bottle destroyed.[3]
