Connecting Statement:

Jesus begins to tell another parable about putting new wine in old wineskins as opposed to new wineskins. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables)

new wine

"grape juice." This refers to wine that has not fermented yet. If grapes are unknown in your area, use the general term for fruit.

This refers to wineskins that have been used many times.

These were bags made out of animal skins. They could also be called "wine bags" or "skin bags" .

New wine expands as it ferments, so it would cause old, brittle wineskins to tear open.

"ruined"

"new wineskins" or "new wine bags." This refers to wineskins that have never been used.
