And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. In the cultural context of first-century Judea, wineskins were made from animal hides, typically goatskin, which were sewn together to create a watertight container. New wine, still fermenting, would expand, and thus required a flexible container. Old wineskins, having already been stretched and dried out, lacked the elasticity needed for this process. This phrase illustrates the incompatibility of Jesus' new teachings with the old Jewish legalistic traditions. It emphasizes the need for renewal and transformation, a theme echoed in 2 Corinthians 5:17, where believers are described as new creations in Christ. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe speaker of this parable, Jesus uses this metaphor to teach about the incompatibility of the old and new covenants. 2. Disciples of John and Pharisees The context of this teaching involves a question from the disciples of John and the Pharisees about fasting, which Jesus uses to illustrate a broader spiritual truth. 3. Wineskins A common item in ancient times used to store wine, made from animal skins. They symbolize the old structures or systems that cannot contain the new work of God. 4. New Wine Represents the new covenant and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, which cannot be contained within the old Jewish legalistic framework. 5. Old Wine Symbolizes the old covenant and traditional Jewish practices that are insufficient for the new life Jesus brings. Teaching Points Incompatibility of Old and NewThe old covenant and its practices cannot contain the new life and freedom found in Christ. Believers must embrace the new covenant fully. Transformation Requires Change Just as new wine requires new wineskins, spiritual transformation requires a change in mindset and lifestyle. Flexibility in Faith Believers are called to be flexible and open to the new things God is doing, rather than rigidly adhering to outdated traditions. Embrace the New Covenant Understanding and living out the new covenant is essential for spiritual growth and maturity. Guard Against Legalism The parable warns against the dangers of legalism, encouraging believers to focus on the spirit rather than the letter of the law.(37) Else.--Better, as before, if otherwise. The bottles shall perish.--Better, will perish, there being no reason for any difference between the two verbs. Verses 37, 38. - And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. In these two verses the Greek words rendered "bottles" properly signify "wine-skins." These leathern bottles throughout Syria and Palestine are generally made of goat-skins. They are still of universal use; the simile of the "old bottles" refers to "wine-skins" old and frail, which had been long in use, and hence nearly worn out; such "skins," after long usage, are in the habit of getting seamed and cracked. (Farrar, in an elaborate ex-cursus, urges that must, and not wine in the ordinary sense, i.e. the fermented juice of the grape, is signified in the parable here, grape-juice in the form of unfermented must being much used as a favourite drink in the East. This suggestion, although ingenious and interesting, does not seem necessary to explain the imagery used; it seems more natural to understand wine in its ordinary meaning.) The "new wine" here represents the teaching of Jesus in all its freshness, originality, and power, and the "wine-skins" the men who are to receive from the Master the great principle of his doctrine. Now, the recognized teachers in Israel, termed scribes and rabbis, or doctors of the Law, were wedded to the old interpretation of the Law - were hampered by traditions, sayings of the Fathers, elaborate ritual observances, prejudices, narrowness, bigotry. The vast collection of the Talmud, where wise words on the same page are crowded out with childish sayings, well represents the teaching of these scribes and rabbis. Never would Jesus entrust to these narrow and prejudiced representatives of a worn-out religious school his new, fresh, generous doctrines. It would indeed be pouring new wine into old, decayed, worn-out wine-vessels. The new wine must be deposited in new wine-skins. His doctrine must be entrusted to no rabbi of Israel, fettered by a thousand precedents, hampered by countless prejudices, but to simple unprejudiced men, who would just receive his teaching, and then pass it on pure and unadulterated to other simple, truthful souls - men earnest, loyal, devoted, like his fisher-friends of Gennesaret, or his publican-follower of Capernaum. He needs, as Godet well phrases it - changing, though, the imagery of Jesus - "fresh natures, new men... fair tablets on which his hand may write the characters of Divine truth, without coming across the old traces of a false human wisdom.
