| Matt 6 | Mark | Luke | Didache 8 | ||
| 16 | "And when you fast | 1 | Let not your fasts | ||
| do not look dismal | be | ||||
| like the hypocrites, | with the hypocrites, | ||||
| for they disfigure their faces | for so they | ||||
| that their fasting may be seen | fast | ||||
| by men. | on Mondays and Thursdays, | ||||
| Truly, I say to you, | |||||
| they have their reward. | |||||

| anoint your head | on Wednesdays and Fridays. | ||||
| and wash your face, | |||||
| 18 | that your fasting may not be seen | ||||
| by men | |||||
| but by your Father who is in secret; | |||||
| and your Father who sees in secret | |||||
| will reward you." | |||||
