The Question about Fasting
14 Then the
disciples of John came to him, saying, ‘Why do we and the Pharisees fast often,
but your disciples do not fast?’ 15And Jesus said to them,
‘The wedding-guests cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can
they? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then
they will fast. 16No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old cloak,
for the patch pulls away from the cloak, and a worse tear is made. 17Neither
is new wine put into old wineskins; otherwise, the skins burst, and the wine is
spilled, and the skins are destroyed; but new wine is put into fresh wineskins,
and so both are preserved
