16 Y cuando ayunáis, no seáis como los hipócritas, austeros; porque ellos demudan sus rostros para parecer á los hombres que ayunan: de cierto os digo, que ya tienen su pago.

17 Mas tú, cuando ayunas, unge tu cabeza y lava tu rostro;

18 Para no parecer á los hombres que ayunas, sino á tu Padre que está en secreto: y tu Padre que ve en secreto, te recompensará en público.

16 And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

17 But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;

18 So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
