Mark 2:22
And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”
from The Patches and the Wineskins, Mark 2:21-22
What it says

He says new wine in old wineskins will burst both, and new wine belongs in new wineskins.

What it is doing

The image warns against forcing newness into rigid containers.

In context

21No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result. 22And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”
