Yochanan's talmidim and the Perushim were fasting, and they came and asked him, *Why do Yochanan's talmidim and the talmidim of the Perushim fast, but your talmidim don't fast?*
*Moreover when you fast, don't be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
