Fasting, Patches and Wineskins

In this passage Jesus highlights the fact that there is a distinct difference between His teaching and that of the Pharisees. He does this through the use of parables, which is an important technique for the Bible student to understand in order to come to proper conclusions about the meaning of the text. Here we study the types of parables, and their use in the Scriptures. In these parables in Luke 5 Jesus teaches that Law and Grace do not mix.
