Context — The Parable of New Wine and Old Wineskinsgenerated
Luke 5:38 is part of a teaching where Jesus uses parables to convey deeper truths about the Kingdom of God. He contrasts the old ways of thinking with the new realities He brings. This teaching follows a discussion about fasting and the traditions of the Pharisees, illustrating that His message cannot be confined to old structures. The parable emphasizes the need for renewal and transformation in understanding God's work.

The Key Word — βλητέον, blēteongenerated
The word βλητέον (blēteon) is an adjective meaning 'must be put' or 'that which requires application.' It indicates necessity and is used to express that something must be done in a specific context.
In this verse, it refers to the action required for new wine, emphasizing that it must be placed in new wineskins to preserve both the wine and the containers. This reflects the idea that new teachings or revelations need appropriate frameworks.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations agree on the essential meaning of the verse, with variations in wording. The BSB states, 'new wine is poured into new wineskins,' while the KJV uses 'new wine must be put into new bottles.'
The primary differences arise in the rendering of the words for 'new' and 'fresh.' The BSB and KJV use 'new,' while the ASV and WEB opt for 'fresh' in their translations.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is βλητέον, must be put, which governs the entire structure. The sentence describes what must happen with new wine and where it should be placed, with a noun phrase as the subject and a prepositional phrase indicating the direction.
The structure is straightforward, with the finite verb at the center, indicating the necessity of the action. This highlights the relationship between the new wine and the new wineskins.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Luke 5:38, the Greek word οἶνον (oinos), meaning "wine," corresponds to the Hebrew יַ֫יִן (yayin), which also means "wine". This connection emphasizes the nature of the wine being discussed in the context of newness and freshness.
The term νέον (neos), translated as "new," and καινοὺς (kainos), meaning "fresh," both reflect the Hebrew חָדָשׁ (chadash), which conveys the idea of something new or renewed. This choice of words highlights the transformative aspect of the new wine in contrast to old wineskins.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Luke 5:38 teaches that new wine must be put into new wineskins. This illustrates the need for new approaches when embracing the teachings of Jesus, as old containers cannot hold the new realities He brings.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
New wine symbolizes the new teachings and the new covenant that Jesus brings, which cannot be confined to old traditions.
New wineskins are flexible and can expand, representing the need for a fresh mindset to accommodate the newness of Jesus' message.
Old wineskins are rigid and cannot expand, which would cause them to burst, leading to the loss of both the wine and the skins.
It encourages us to be open to new ways of understanding and living out our faith, rather than clinging to outdated practices.

The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.

The Greek word οἶνος (i.e., *oinos*) means "wine" and is used both literally and metaphorically in various contexts. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often referring to the beverage itself or symbolically to represent concepts like joy or judgment. The lexicons note its use in the Septuagint and classical literature, and it can also refer to fermented drinks made from other ingredients, such as barley.

Wine
The common Hebrew word for wine is yayin, from a root meaning “to boil up,” “to be in a ferment.” Others derive it from a root meaning “to tread out,” and hence the juice of the grape trodden out. The Greek word for wine is oinos_, and the Latin _vinun. But besides this common Hebrew word, there are several others which are thus rendered.
(1.) Ashishah (2 Sam. 6:19; 1 Chr. 16:3; Cant. 2:5; Hos. 3:1), which, however, rather denotes a solid cake of pressed grapes, or, as in the Revised Version, a cake of raisins.
(2.) ‘Asis, “sweet wine,” or “new wine,” the product of the same year (Cant. 8:2;
The manufacture of wine is carried back in the Bible to the age of Noah, (Genesis 9:20,21) to whom the discovery of the process is apparently, though not explicitly, attributed. The natural history and culture of the vine are described under a separate head. [VINE] The only other plant whose fruit is noticed as having been converted into wine was the pomegranate. (Solomon 8:2) In Palestine the vintage takes place in September, and is celebrated with great rejoicing. The ripe fruit was gathered in baskets, (Jeremiah 6:9) as represented in Egyptian paintings, and was carried to the wine-press. It was then placed in the upper one of the two vats or receptacles of which the winepress was formed, and was subjected to the process of "treading," which has prevailed in all ages in Oriental…
The vine being natural to the soil of Canaan and its vicinity, wine was much used as a beverage, especially at festivals, Es 1:7 5:6 Da 5:1-4 Joh 2:3. As one of the staple products of the Holy Land, it was employed for drink-offerings in the temple service, Ex 20:26 Nu 15:4-10; it was included among the "first-fruits," De 18:4, and was used in the celebration of the Passover, and subsequently of the Lord’s supper, Mt 26:27-29. Together with corn and oil it denoted all temporal supplies,

νέος (neos) means 'young' or 'new,' referring to both people and things. It is often used in the New Testament to describe youthfulness (Titus 2:4) and freshness (Matthew 9:17). The word can imply regeneration in a figurative sense. Some lexicons note a distinction between νέος and καινός in terms of their nuances, particularly regarding time versus quality.
Some have denied that any difference can in the N. T. be traced between these words. They derive a certain plausible support for this denial from the fact that manifestly νέος and καινός, both rendered ‘new’ in our Version, are often interchangeably used; thus νέος ἄνθρωπος (Col. iii. 10), and καινὸς ἄνθρωπος (Eph. ii. 15), in both cases “ the 1 Our English ‘ world,’ etymologically regarded, more nearly represents αἰών than κόσμος. The old ‘ weralt’ (in modern German ‘ welt’) is composed of two words, ‘wer,’ man, and ‘alt,’ age or generation. The ground-meaning, therefore, of ‘weralt’ is generation of men (Pott. Etym. Forsch. vol. ii, pt. i. p. 125). Out of this expression of time unfolds itself that of space, as αἰών passed into the meaning of κόσμος (Grimm, Deutsche Myth. p. 752); but in the earliest German records ‘ weralt’ is used, first as an expression of time, and only…

The Greek word ἀσκός (askos) refers to a leathern bag or bottle, commonly used for storing wine or water. It appears in the New Testament in Matthew 9:17, Mark 2:22, and Luke 5:37-38. The term has a broader historical usage, including references to skins or hides in various contexts, but its primary significance in the New Testament is as a wineskin.
ἀσκός, -οῦ, 6, a leathern bag or bottle,in which water or wine was kept: Mt. ix. 17; Mk. ii. 22; Lk. v. 37 sq. (Often in Grk. writ. fr. Hom. down; Sept.) [BB.DD. 5. v. Bottle; Tristram, Nat. Hist. of the Bible, p. 92.]

καινός (kainos) means new or fresh, often in terms of quality rather than age. It contrasts with παλαιός (palaios), which means old or antiquated. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like new wine (Mt 9:17) and the new covenant (Lk 22:20). The lexicons note a distinction between καινός and νέος (neos), with the former emphasizing freshness and the latter focusing on recentness.
Some have denied that any difference can in the N. T. be traced between these words. They derive a certain plausible support for this denial from the fact that manifestly νέος and καινός, both rendered ‘new’ in our Version, are often interchangeably used; thus νέος ἄνθρωπος (Col. iii. 10), and καινὸς ἄνθρωπος (Eph. ii. 15), in both cases “ the 1 Our English ‘ world,’ etymologically regarded, more nearly represents αἰών than κόσμος.

βλητέος is an adjective derived from βάλλω, meaning 'that which must be put' or 'requiring to be cast.' It appears in the New Testament in Luke 5:38 and Mark 2:22, where it relates to the necessity of putting something in a specific context. The entries consistently convey this meaning without significant disagreement.

put (puT; Phoud, in Genesis and Chronicles, variant for Genesis Phout, for Chronicles, Phouth):
1. Renderings:
In consequence of the identification at the time, the prophets have "Libya" (Libues), except Nab 3:9, where the Greek renders the word as phuge, "flight." The Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) has "Phut," "Phuth," and in the Prophets "Libyes" and "Libya"; the King James Version "Phut."
2. Son of Ham:
In the "Table of Nations" Put is the third son of Ham (Ge 10:6), the first and second being Cush and Misraim, and the fourth Canaan. Put is the only one of the sons of Ham who is not credited with descendants.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The Greek word ἀμφότεροι (i.e., *amphoteroi*) means 'both' and is used exclusively in the plural. It is derived from the comparative of ἀμφί (around) and refers to two entities, though some sources suggest it can extend to more than two in later usage. The New Testament includes it in verses like Matthew 9:17 and Acts 23:8, where it denotes both sides or both parties involved.

ἀμφότεροι. On P Lond 336% (Α.Ὁ. 167) (=II. p. 221) Kenyon observes, ‘‘ ἀμφότεροι = πάντες in late Byzantine Greek... and it is possible that colloquially the use existed earlier.” The text here has the names of five men—apdrepor ἱερεῖς θεοῦ κώμης Σοκνοπαίου Νήσου. In P Théad 264 (A,p. 296) Αὐρήλιοι [H]pwvivos καὶ ᾿Αθανάσιος κ[α]ὶ Φιλάδελφος καὶ Σερηνίων ἀμφότεροι ἐξηγ(ητεύσαντες) makes ἀμφ. apply to three persons, if with the Ed. (and πο. 277) we read ὁ καὶ ᾿Αθανάσιος : in no. 27 we find the first two characterized as having been exegetae, while Serenion is κοσμ(ητεύσας), two years later. Prof. Thumb refers to BZ xi. p. 111 for apd. = ‘alle zusammen.” In the London papyrus, despite Bury’s paper on this late usage (C/ xi. p. 393), it is hard to disagree with Kenyon’s suspicion that it was not only the last two of these five who were priests: cf.

The Greek word συντηρέω (i.e., *suntereo*) is built from the prefix συν- (together) and the root τηρέω (to keep). It covers meanings such as to preserve, keep safe, and remember. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts of safeguarding individuals or memories, notably in Mark 6:20 and Luke 2:19. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.
