Matthew 6:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ “Moreover, when you fast, do not look sour as the hypocrites. For they disfigure their faces, to show men that they are fasting. Truly I say to you that they have their reward.

¹⁷ “But when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face,

¹⁸ “so that you do not fast for men to see, but your Father, Who is in secret. And your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you openly.
