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?
John Chrysostom
What they say comes to this, Be it that you do this as Physician of souls, but why do your disciples neglect fasting and approach such tables? And to augment the weight of their charge by comparison, they put themselves first, and then the Pharisees. They fasted as they learnt out of the Law, as the Pharisee spoke, I fast twice in the week; (Luke 18:12.) the others learnt it of John.
