Bible verse
But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
Luke 5:35 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 5.
31 Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
33 Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”
34 Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?
35 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.
37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.
38 Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.
39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
