2 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled and the bottles shall perish.
3 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
4 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

A Prophet Hath no Honor in his Own Country.
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
2 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
3 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
4 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
