Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

Και οταν νηστευητε, μη γινεσθε ως οι υποκριται σκυθρωποι· διοτι αφανιζουσι τα προσωπα αυτων, δια να φανωσιν εις τους ανθρωπους οτι νηστευουσιν· αληθως σας λεγω, οτι εχουσιν ηδη τον μισθον αυτων.

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
