And his father and mother went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of Easter.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

And that same Levi made him a great feast at home in his own house. And there was a great company of publicans, and of others that sat at meat with him.

Then they said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and pray: and the disciples of the Pharisees also: and thine eat and drink?"

And he said unto them, "Can ye make the Children of the wedding fast, as long as the bridegroom is present with them?

The days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them: then shall they fast in those days."

But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,

I fast twice in the week. I give tithe of all that I possess.'

Let it stick therefore fast in your hearts, not once to study before, what ye shall answer for yourselves:

The feast of sweet bread drew nigh, which is called Easter,

For of necessity, he must have let one loose unto them at that feast.
