Proper Fasting
6:16“When21 you fast, do not look sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unattractive22 so that people will see them fasting. I tell you the truth,23 they have their reward.
Footnotes
- 21 Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
- 22 Here the term “disfigure” used in a number of translations was not used because it could convey to the modern reader the notion of mutilation. L&N 79.17 states, “ ‘to make unsightly, to disfigure, to make ugly.’ ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ‘for they make their faces unsightly’ Mt 6:16.”
- 23 Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”
