The Sermon On The Mount: How To Fast
16 "When you fast, do not look downcast like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces so that it may be apparent to men that they are fasting. In solemn truth I tell you, they already have received their reward. 17 "But when one of you fasts, let him anoint his head and wash his face, 18 "so that he may not appear to men to be fasting, but to his Father who is in secret; and his Father who sees in secret will reward him.
