Seriously, Christians also fast to help themselves draw closer to God. Jesus was not against fasting, but since the disciples were already with Jesus, they did not need to fast for that purpose at this time.
Kwa ukweli, Wakristo pia hufunga ili kujisogeza karibu na Mungu. Yesu hakupinga kufunga, ila kwa kuwa wanafunzi wake walikuwa pamoja naye hawakuwa na sababu ya kufunga kwa ajili ya jambo hilo wakati ule.
