The Gospel of Mark

Mark 2:18-22

The Pharisees raise a question to Jesus regarding fasting. But what we see is that they weren’t so concerned with learning from Jesus, as they were trying to entrap Him so they could accuse Him. Jesus answers their question in the form of 3 parables: a wedding, clothing, and wine. It all boils down to whether we live a ‘new’ life in Christ, or reject all that He has for us and live in our ‘old’ ways. We have to make a choice. There is no blending of the two.
