31. And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, It is not the bariim who have need of a rofeh, but the cholim (sick persons);
32. I have not come to call the tzaddikim but choteim (sinners) to teshuva (repentance).
33. But they said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Yochanan's talmidim undergo tzomot (fasts) often and offer tefillos; likewise also the ones of the Perushim; but your talmidim eat and drink.
34. But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, You are not able to make the Bnei haChuppah undergo tzomot while the Choson is with them, are you?
35. But yamim will come when the Choson is taken away from them; then, in those yamim, they will undergo tzomot.
