Matthew 9:14
Douay-Rheims
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?
Jerome
O boastful enquiry and ostentation of fasting much to be blamed, nor can John’s disciples be excused for their taking part with the Pharisees who they knew had been condemned by John, and for bringing a false accusation against Him whom they knew their master had preached.
