Matthew 9:17
Douay-Rheims
Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.
George Leo Haydock
New wine into old bottles. [3] These vessels were made of skins, or were leather bottles, in which wine used to be carried and kept. (Witham) — They were made of goat-skins prepared and sewed together, as is common in Spain and other southern countries to this day. (Haydock) — They were to wait till they were renewed by the Holy Ghost, before they could enter with advantage on the hard ways of penance. (Bible de Vence)
