The old could have been the ministry of John the Baptist, the last of the Old Testament prophets. Jesus point was that “ no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good’” (Luke 5:39). But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins” (Luke 5:37-38). If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. Then He says “ And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old” (Luke 5:36).
What was Jesus trying to tell them? He gives them a parable right after this, probably to clarify what He had just told them, saying “ No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment.
The Pharisees and scribes were grumbling about the fact that John the Baptist’s disciples fasted but Jesus’ disciples ate and drank (Luke 5:33) and so Jesus tells them “ Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days” (Luke 5:34-35). When the Bible speaks about old wine, it may be referring to the Old Covenant teachings and the new wine, the New Covenant.
What is the difference between new wine and old wine in the Bible? Why does Jesus talk about the new wine and the old wine? The Old Wine
