Jesus Teaching Concerning The Proper Way To Fast

Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you; They have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face; That you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father who is in secret: and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you openly. Matthew 6 vs 16-17.
