Imma għad jasal iż-żmien meta l-għarus jeħduhulhom minn magħhom, u mbagħad isumu dakinhar.” Qalilhom ukoll parabbola: “Ħadd ma jaqta’ biċċa drapp minn libsa ġdida biex biha jraqqa’ waħda qadima, għax inkella mhux biss ikun qatta’ l-ġdida, imma anqas il-biċċa meħuda mill-ġdida ma tkun taqbel mal-qadima. Anqas ma jqiegħdu l-inbid il-ġdid f’damiġġani qodma tal-ġild, għax inkella l-inbid il-ġdid jifqa’ d-damiġġani, u jixtered hu u jintilfu d-damiġġani…
