KJV ORIGINAL
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
You don't put fresh wine into old wineskins because the new wine will expand and burst the old container — then you lose the wine and ruin the skin. Fresh wine needs fresh wineskins.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
