The 'new wine' that bursts old skins is, IMHO, still fermenting. That's why it splits the skins. The Gospels do not say that in the cup was wine; but it was the Passover seder, and therefore it would have been. The exercise of finding the requirements for the seder in the Old Testament defeats me, at present. -- Henry Troup - BNR owns but does not share my opinions ..utgpu!bnr-vpa!bnr-fos!hwt%bmerh490 or HWT@BNR.CA
