Context

Proper Fasting

16Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. 17But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; 18That you appear not to men to fast, but to your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
