Mark 2:18-20

18At this time, the disciples of John the Baptist and the disciples of the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came to Jesus and they asked him this question: ‘The disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees often fast for a time. So why do your disciples never do that?’

19Jesus answered them, ‘When a man marries, his friends cannot refuse to eat. They cannot fast while he is with them.

20But there will be a time when people will take the man away from his friends. At that time his friends will fast.’
