Matthew 6:16-18 - The Sermon On The Mount: How To Fast

¹⁶ And, when you fast, do not put on gloomy looks, as hypocrites do who disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. That, I tell you, is their reward! ¹⁷ But, when one of your fasts, let him anoint his head and wash his face, ¹⁸ That he may not be seen by men to be fasting, but by his Father who dwells in secret; and his Father, who sees what is secret, will recompense him.
