fasting.
(30)And going from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would
not have any person know it. (31)For he taught his disciples, and said
unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they
shall kill him: and after being killed, the third day he shall rise
again. (32)But they understood not the meaning of that declaration, and
were afraid to ask him.
(33)And he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked
them, What was the subject of your dispute among yourselves on the
road? (34)But they held their peace. For they had been disputing with
each other on the road, which was the greatest. (35)And when he was
seated, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desires to
