“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
你們禁食的時候,不可像那假冒為善的人,臉上帶著愁容。因為他們把臉弄得難看,故意叫人看出他們是禁食。我實在告訴你們,他們已經得了他們的賞賜。 (Matthew 6:16)
But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,
你禁食的時候,要梳頭洗臉, (Matthew 6:17)
so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
不叫人看出你禁食來,只叫你暗中的父看見。你父在暗中察看,必然報答你。 (Matthew 6:18)
