Matthew 9:14-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?

¹⁵ And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
