The Old is Better!?

• Luke 5:38 (NLT)

---

"'No one places new wine in old wineskins. . . . But new wine must be placed in new wineskins. And no one who drinks the old wine wishes for the new, for they say, "The old is better.'

How could Jesus indicate that the old is better than the new? Isn't the salvation he brings superior to anything Judaism (or any other religion) had to offer? Scribes who found the saying puzzling simply eliminated the last sentence, so that now Jesus says nothing about the old being better than the new."
