And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then will they fast.

While the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight a cry was made: Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go you out to meet him.

While they were going to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage supper; and the door was closed.

And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can not fast.

But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast in those days.

And he said to them: Can you make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; then shall they fast in those days.

When the governor of the feast had tasted the water that had been made wine, (and he knew not whence it was, but the servants that had drawn the water knew,) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him:

He that has the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly on account of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, is therefore complete.

and the light of a lamp shall shine no more in you: and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more in you: for your merchants were the great men of the earth: for by your sorcery were all nations deceived.
