Connecting Statement:
Jesus begins to tell another parable. This one is about putting new wine into old wineskins rather than into 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 juice.
old wineskins
This refers to wineskins that have been used many times.
wineskins
These were bags made out of animal skins. They could also be called "wine bags" or "skin bags."
the wine will burst the skins
New wine expands as it ferments, so it would cause old, brittle wineskins to tear open.
will be lost
"will be ruined"
fresh wineskins
"new wineskins" or "new wine bags." This refers to wineskins that have never been used.
