The Question about Fasting

Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)

Mat 9:14–17

14 Then the disciples of John came to him, and said, Why we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said to them, Whether the sons of the spouse may mourn or wail as long as the spouse is with them? But days shall come, when the spouse shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
16 And no man putteth a patch of rough cloth, or of rude, or new, cloth, into an old clothing; for it doeth away or taketh away the fullness of the cloth, and a worse breaking is made.
17 Neither men put new wine into old bottles or old wine vessels, else the bottles or wine vessels be broken, and destroyed, and the wine shed out. But men put new wine into new bottles or into new wine vessels, and both be kept.

18 And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came, and said to him, Why fast the disciples of John, and the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
19 And Jesus said to them, Whether the sons of the spousals or of the weddings may fast, as long as the spouse is with them? As long time as they have the spouse with them, they may not fast.
20 But days shall come, when the spouse shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.
21 No man seweth a patch of new cloth to an old cloth, else he taketh away the new patch from the old, and a more breaking is made.
22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles, else the wine shall burst the bottles, and the wine shall be shed out, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine shall be put into new bottles. And no man putteth new wine into old wine vessels, else the wine shall burst or shall break the wine vessels, and the wine shall be poured out, and the wine vessels shall perish. But new wine oweth to be put into new wine vessels.

33 And they said to him, Why the disciples of John fast oft, and make prayers, also and of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?
34 To whom he said, Whether ye may make the sons of the spouse to fast, while the spouse is with them?
35 But days shall come, when the spouse shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.
36 And he said to them also a likeness; For no man taketh a piece from a new cloth, and putteth it into an old clothing; else both he breaketh the new, and the piece of the new accordeth not to the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles or old wine vessels; else the new wine shall break the bottles or wine vessels, and the wine shall be shed out, and the bottles or wine vessels shall perish.
38 But new wine oweth to be put into new bottles or new wine vessels, and both be kept.
39 And no man drinking the old, will anon the new; for he saith, The old is the better or The old is better.
