Lucas 5

Jesus explained that people could not follow both their old customs and his new teaching.

33 Those Jewish leaders said to Jesus, "The disciples of John the Baptizer often abstain from food to show that they want to please God, and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! Why do not they fast like the others?" 34 To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them [MET], Jesus said to them, "When ◄the bridegroom/man who is getting married► is with his friends at the time of the wedding, you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? No, you do not do that. 35 But some day he will be taken away {his enemies will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, because they will be sad."
