Luke 5:33-35 King James Version (KJV)
33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
A Voice In The Wilderness Bible
Luke 5:33-35
5:33 Then they said to Him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?
5:34 And He said to them, Can you make the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them?
5:35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
33 Fasting and prayer is important this is why the bring it up but they are doing so to tell them they are in the wrong, they are also comparing John the Baptist to Jesus.
34 Jesus is the bridegroom and we the church are the bride, the bridegroom was gathering His bride, fasting was not done because of this.
35 Jesus actually gives teaching on how we are to fast, they missed this, we as Christians should take time to fast and pray.
