OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

Jeremiah 13:12

Therefore you shall speak unto them this word; Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Every wineskin shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto you, Do we not certainly know that every wineskin shall be filled with wine?
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 13:12 Go To Jeremiah 13

John Chrysostom

AD 407
And these things he said, setting laws and rules for his own disciples, that when they should have to receive as disciples those of all sorts that should come from the whole world, they might deal with them very gently. “Neither is new wine put into old wineskins.” Consider how his illustrations are like those in the Old Testament. The garment? The wineskins? For Jeremiah, too, calls the people “a waistcloth” and makes mention again of “jar” and of “wine.” Thus, the discourse being about gluttony and a table, he takes his illustrations from the same.
