Logion 47

LG47 Jesus breaks with the Old Testament

Jesus said:
One cannot ride two horses,
neither stretch two arches.
And a servant cannot serve two masters,
otherwise he honors one and despises the other.
Nobody drinks old wine and immediately craves for new wine.
And they don’t pour new wine into old bags,
because then they burst.
Nor do you pour old wine into a new bag,
because that will spoil the bag.
People don’t sew an old piece of cloth on a new rug,
because then a crack will arise.
