Greetings maryjblain! "2:19-20. Jesus’ counterquestion set up a comparison and a veiled analogy to Himself. As it is inappropriate for guests (lit., “sons of the bridal chamber,” the groom’s attendants) to fast (an expression of sorrow) in the presence of the bridegroom, so it was inappropriate for Jesus’ disciples to fast (in sorrow) while He was with them. His presence with them constituted a situation as joyous as a wedding festival. But this situation would change, for the time (lit., “days”) would come when the Bridegroom (Jesus) would be taken (, implying violent removal; cf. Isa. 53:8) from them and on that day (His crucifixion) the disciples would fast in the metaphorical sense of experiencing sorrow in place of joy. This allusion to His coming death is the first hint of the Cross in Mark’s Gospel. 2:21-22. For the first time Mark used two of Jesus’ parables, both of which had broader relevance than to fasting. Jesus’ presence with His people was a time of newness (fulfillment) and signaled the passing of the old." Taken from The Bible Knowledge Commentary (NIV) --Nolan |
