But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
Pero cuando tú ayunes, perfuma tu cabeza y lava tu rostro
Cuando ayunes, mantén tu apariencia normal para que no sea evidente a otros.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of Jesus, fasting was a common Jewish practice often associated with repentance, mourning, or seeking God's favor, as seen in the Old Testament and contemporary religious customs. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses the hypocrisy of those who fasted publicly to gain admiration from others, disfiguring their faces to make their fasting obvious. He contrasts this by instructing his followers to fast in a way that maintains their normal appearance, ensuring their devotion remains private and directed toward God alone.
