'Fastings' in the Bible

and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;

And having chosen them elders in each assembly, having prayed with fastings, they committed them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

in stripes, in prisons, in riots, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

in labour and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
