Jesus, at once intuitively aware that they wee debating with themselves in this way, said to them: "Why are you debating in your minds about this?

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came and asked Jesus: "Why is it that John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, while yours do not?"

"Look!" the Pharisees said to him, "why are they doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?"

"Why are you so timid?" he exclaimed. "Have you no faith yet?"
