16Whenever then you fast, do not be as the sad hypocrites, for they destroy their faces so that they may appear to humans as fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have their wage in full.17But you, when fasting, anoint your head and wash your face.18so that you may not appear to humans as fasting, but to your Father who is in the hidden; and your Father who sees in the hidden will pay you.
