Nevertheless, what lives in a person’s heart will be unable to be kept hidden and will be noticed by other people. In this sense the laws can be seen as a garment, which must hide man’s nakedness – the image of the sinful heart.

The reason for this parable is the question posed by John’s disciples to Jesus as to why His disciples do not fastĬan you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them in those days they will fast.” (Luke 5:34-35)Īnd Jesus then tells the parable to indicate that He is shedding new light on the teaching of the Old Testament.
