Luke 5:33-35

New International Reader's Version

Jesus Is Asked About Fasting

³³ Some of the people who were there said to Jesus, “John’s disciples often pray and go without eating. So do the disciples of the Pharisees. But yours go on eating and drinking.”

³⁴ Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the groom fast while he is with them? ³⁵ But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. In those days they will go without eating.”
