yes, of course He was speaking of how they were having a hard time believing the Messiah had arrived, that He had to die for their (and our) sins ... i.e., the Gospel and the fact that Gentiles could be Saved ... I believe they tied up the wineskins and the expanding CO₂ on an old, dried-out wineskin would cause it to burst ... as always, He used the parables to explain a complex Truth ...

Ok, so let me see if I get this.
Maybe Jesus was telling them that they wouldn't be able to grasp the Gospel message and new life Jesus offered (the new wine) with their old ways of thinking and old religious concepts about God.(old wine skins )
That they needed a renewed faith and new understanding of God to go along with the new Gospel message.?
