Bible Question: Can someone please explain what this verse has to do with the one before it: "And Jesus replied to them, Can the wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is still with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast."

Bible Answer: There are cultural things we must know to understand this passage. First fasting was often, but not always, done as a sign of morning. The second thing we must understand is the context. Johns disciples are asking why are you disciples not fasting, it is possible John the Baptist could be imprisoned at that time.

So it is like they are saying John is in prison why are you’re disciples not mourning? To which Jesus responds the bridegroom (Him) is still with them. Jesus then says, basically, His disciples will not fast until He goes away ie dies or goes into heaven.
