LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 5:36 A new patch cannot be put on an old garment. It will shrink when it is washed, and then tear. Also, one does not put new wine into old wineskins. New, fermenting wine would stretch the old, inelastic wineskins and cause them to burst. No one is best understood as a criticism of the Pharisees. Jesus says they favor the past and reject the arrival of the kingdom.
