What the Bible says about: Fasting
| Psalms 35:13 |
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I |
| Psalms 69:10 | When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. |
| Psalms 109:24 | My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. |
| Matthew 6:16-18 | Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. |
| But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; | |
| That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. | |
| Mark 2:18-20 | And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? |
| And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. | |
| But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. |
