OLD WINESKINS AND NEW WINESKINS

Mark 2:18-22

Key verse: 2:22

1. Why did some people criticize Jesus’ disciples? (18) How did they practice fasting?

2. Read verses 19-20. How did Jesus answer? What does it mean that Jesus is the bridegroom? When should we fast?

3. Read verses 21-22. What happens if a new piece of cloth is sewed on an old garment? What happens if new wine is poured into old wineskins?  Why?

4. What do these parables teach us about the gospel and life of following Jesus?
