Mark 2:18
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast,.... Or "were fasting"; perhaps that very day, and so were the more displeased at this entertainment, Matthew had made for Christ and his disciples, and at their being at it; or fasting was usual with them: they fasted often, both John's disciples, and the disciples of the Pharisees, or the Pharisees themselves; so the Vulgate Latin reads: of their frequent fasting, See Gill on "Matthew 9:14",
and they came: both the disciples of John, Matthew 9:14, and the Scribes and Pharisees, Luke 5:30,
and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? See Gill on "Matthew 9:14".
