The reason for its omission is not clear, although it might have been accidently omitted because of the repetition of "wine" and "wineskins," but this was not a usual mistake of the eye, for these words have different endings in the two phrases. Most of the evidence listed above adds a verb, either "must be put," as in Luke 5:38, or "they put," as in Matthew 9:17. Only manuscripts S* and B omit the verb here and rely on the verb at the beginning of the verse.
