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?
Entonces se acercaron a Jesús y le dijeron: 'Los discípulos de Juan ayunan frecuentemente y oran, y los discípulos de los fariseos hacen lo mismo, pero los tuyos comen y beben.'
Los líderes religiosos cuestionaron a Jesús sobre por qué sus discípulos no ayunaban como otros grupos religiosos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In first-century Jewish culture, fasting was a common religious practice symbolizing repentance and devotion, regularly observed by the Pharisees and the disciples of John the Baptist as a sign of piety. This question to Jesus arose during his early ministry, shortly after he called his first disciples and performed miracles, highlighting the contrast between traditional fasting and the joy of being in his presence. It reflects the growing tension between established religious customs and Jesus' new teachings about the kingdom of God.
