'Fast' in the Bible

(Now John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were keeping a fast.)

"Can a wedding party fast while the bridegroom is among them?" replied Jesus. "So long as they have the bridegroom with them, fasting is impossible.

But a time will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast.

But a heavy squall came on, and the waves were now dashing into the boat, so that it was fast filling.

"You neglect God's Commandment: you hold fast to men's traditions."
