Supposedly the first parable jesus told and the central thought on which the sermon on the mount was based. since new wine is still fermenting and expanding, it would put too much pressure on old wineskins. it means that the inflexibility of traditonoal systems can hardly adapt to the freedom of Jesus' new way.
