Sabbath Wineskins New and Old (Mark 2:21-28)

In our previous commentary, we observed how the Pharisees had the audacity to criticize those who did not follow in the unrighteous traditions of their elders; and today their successors attempt to condemn men who do not abide in their unrighteous church tradition. Such men will fast according to supposed “holy days” such as Lent, which are found nowhere in the Bible, and think themselves righteous for doing so, while they promote the abominations which God hates.
