In context

36 He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.

37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.

38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

39 No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
