Questions about Fasting

(Matthew 9:14–15; Mark 2:18–20)

33 Then they said to Him, “Why [do][fn] John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking?”

34 [Jesus] replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while [He] is with them? 35 But [the] time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
