16 Når I faster, da skal I ikke gå med mørkt åsyn som hyklerne; for de gjør sitt ansikt ukjennelig, forat menneskene skal se at de faster; sannelig sier jeg eder: De har allerede fått sin lønn.

16 And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.
