Matius 4:2

4:2 After he fasted forty days and forty nights he was famished. ¹ 

Matius 6:16

Proper Fasting

6:16 “When ²  you fast, do not look sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unattractive ³  so that people will see them fasting. I tell you the truth, ⁴  they have their reward.

[4:2]  ¹ tn Grk “and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.”

[6:16]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[6:16]  ³ tn Here the term “disfigure” used in a number of translations was not used because it could convey to the modern reader the notion of mutilation. L&N 79.17 states, “‘to make unsightly, to disfigure, to make ugly.’ ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ‘for they make their faces unsightly’ Mt 6:16.”

[6:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
