Lukas 5:37

5:37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. ¹  If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.

Lukas 23:22

23:22 A third time he said to them, “Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty ²  of no crime deserving death. ³  I will therefore flog ⁴  him and release him.”

[5:37]  ¹ sn Wineskins were bags made of skin or leather, used for storing wine in NT times. As the new wine fermented and expanded, it would stretch the new wineskins. Putting new (unfermented) wine in old wineskins, which had already been stretched, would result in the bursting of the wineskins.

[23:22]  ² tn Grk “no cause of death I found in him.”

[23:22]  ³ sn The refrain of innocence comes once again. Pilate tried to bring some sense of justice, believing Jesus had committed no crime deserving death.

[23:22]  ⁴ tn Or “scourge” (BDAG 749 s.v. παιδεύω 2.b.γ). See the note on “flogged” in v. 16.
