Lexham English Bible
34 So he[a] said[b] to them, “You are not able to make the bridegroom’s attendants[c] fast as long as the bridegroom is with them, are you?[d] 35 But days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” 36 And he also told a parable to them: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and[e] puts it[f] on an old garment. Otherwise, he will have torn the new also, and the old will not match the patch that is from the new.
