New Wine into Old Wineskins
The parables follow the recruitment of Levi as a disciple of Jesus, and appear to be part of a discussion at a banquet held by him (Luke 5:29).No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.The two parables relate to the relationship between Jesus' teaching and traditional Judaism."[3][4] Other interpreters see Luke as giving Christianity roots in Jewish antiquity,[1] although "Jesus has brought something new, and the rituals and traditions of official Judaism cannot contain it.Calvin then states that both distinctions (old and new wine and wineskins as well as the old and new garment) are the mentality and oral tradition left by the Pharisees which is not in accord with the proper teachings of the law, as Jesus was preaching.[10] Cornelius a Lapide in his great commentary[11] gives the traditional interpretation of this parable, writing that: "Christ shows by a threefold similitude, that His disciples must not fast when He was present.
