Exegesis

The adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} introduces the corrective ellipsis in oinon neon eis askous kainous {οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς καινούς | oî-non né-on eis as-koùs kai-noús}, balancing the form and content by pairing new wine with new wineskins.

In contextMark 2:22

And no one puts new wine into old wineskins ; otherwise, the wine will burst the wineskins and the wine is destroyed , and the skins are lost as well; but new wine belongs in new wineskins.
