A Question about Fasting(A)
14 Then John’s disciples came to Jesus[b] and asked, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often,[c] but your disciples don’t fast?”
15 Jesus asked them, “The wedding guests[d] can’t mourn as long as the groom is with them, can they? But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.”
