33 Again they said to Him, »John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink.«

34 »Can you compel the bridal party to fast,« replied Jesus, »so long as they have the bridegroom among them?

35 But a time for this will come, when the Bridegroom has been taken away from them: then, at that time, they will fast.«
