Tenth Sunday of Winter

“Christ and Mary Magdalene in the House of Simon” by Carlo Dolci, 1645.

​Answering the Pharisees, who reproached him for not following accepted customs, Ieshu said to them: no one puts a piece of new linen on an old garment, otherwise the new tears the old, and the tear is greater. Nor does anyone put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins break and the skins are lost. But new wine is put into new wineskins, and everything is preserved. It's true that no one who has just drunk old wine wants new wine, and says: old is much better.
