katapi HOME Matthew 6:16-18 - Teaching about Fasting  Mt.6.16-18 (Galilee)

6 16 'So too when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites: they make their faces unsightly so that other people may see that they are fasting. I tell you this: they have their reward already. 6 17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 6 18 so that men may not see that you are fasting, but only your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will give you your reward.
