Luke 5:33-35

International Standard Version

A Question about Fasting^(A)

³³ Then they told him, “John’s disciples frequently fast and pray, and so do those of the Pharisees. But your disciples^[a] keep right on eating and drinking.”

³⁴ But Jesus told them, “You can’t force the wedding guests^[b] to fast while the groom is still with them, can you? ³⁵ But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and at that time they will fast.”
