Mark 2:18

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast ,.... Or "were fasting"; perhaps that very day, and so were the more displeased at this entertainment, Matthew had made for Christ and his disciples, and at their being at it; or fasting was usual with them: they fasted often, both John's disciples, and the disciples of the Pharisees, or the Pharisees themselves; so the Vulgate Latin reads: of their frequent fasting; see Gill on Matthew 9:14 ,

and they came : both the disciples of John, Matthew 9:14 , and the Scribes and Pharisees, Luke 5:30 ,

and say unto him, why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not ? See Gill on Matthew 9:14 .
