The Fathers on this verse
St John Chrysostom The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, Matthew IX. 9
Seest thou His illustrations, how like the Old Testament? the garment? the wine skins? For Jeremiah too calls the people “a girdle,” and makes mention again of “bottles” and of “wine.” Thus, the discourse being about gluttony and a table, He takes His illustrations from the same.
