Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast,.... Or "were fasting"; perhaps that very day, and so were the more displeased at this entertainment, Matthew had made for Christ and his disciples, and at their being at it; or fasting was usual with them: they fasted often, both John's disciples, and the disciples of the Pharisees, or the Pharisees themselves; so the Vulgate Latin reads: of their frequent fasting, :-,
and they came: both the disciples of John, Matthew 9:14, and the Scribes and Pharisees, Luke 5:30,
and say unto him, why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? Luke 5:30- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast - Were accustomed often to fast. Compare Luke 5:33; Luke 18:12.
And they come and say - The disciples of John come, Matthew 9:4.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 18. Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast — See this largely explained on Matthew 9:14, c. The following vices are very common to Pharisees.
1. They are more busied in censuring the conduct of others than in rectifying their own.
2. They desire that every one should regulate his piety by theirs and embrace their particular customs and forms of devotion.
3. They speak of and compare themselves with other people, only that they may have an opportunity of distinguishing and exalting themselves.
On the nature, times, and duration of fasting, see Matthew 6:16; Matthew 9:15.
