16 "Moreover, when you fast, do not become gloomy, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men [to be] fasting. Assuredly I say to you, that they receive their reward in full.

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

18 so that you do not appear to men [to be] fasting, but to your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
