2:18-22 This controversy deals with fasting, which Jesus did not practice with his disciples. The Pharisees regularly fasted two days a week, on Mondays and Thursdays (Luke 18:12), and Jews often fasted when mourning or specially seeking the Lord’s favor (Lev 16:29-31; 1 Sam 31:13; 2 Sam 1:12; 12:21-23; Ezra 8:23; Esth 4:3; Matt 6:16).

If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “The sons of the bridal chamber are certainly not able to fast while the bridegroom is still with them.” or “The sons of bridal chamber cannot fast while the bridegroom is still with them!”

Alternate translation: “The groom’s attendants”
