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.

Matt 6:16 “ Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 17 “ But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
