Fasting in the Old Testament was common during mourning, repentance, and to show humility. Sometimes it was done as an attempt to get prayers heard. Isaiah 58 shows compassion to be an acceptable 'fast'. Jesus indicates in Matthew 6:16 that if you fast don't do it to be seen by people. The disciples did not fast according to Mark 2 until after Jesus' death. A scribe added Matthew 17:21 which makes it sound like fasting was necessary for prayers to be heard to heal a demoniac. | ||||||
