Concerning Fasting

Matthew 6

Matthew6:16 And when you fast, do not choose to become gloomy, like the hypocrites. For they alter their faces, so that their fasting may be apparent to men. Amen I say to you, that they have received their reward.

Matthew6:17 But as for you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

Matthew6:18 so that your fasting will not be apparent to men, but to your Father, who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
