the disciples of John] Matthew names these onely, because they were the speakers. Luke names the Pharisees onely, because they set them on work, that they might disgrace Christ, by that authority which John had with the people. Mark names both, for both had an hand in it.
Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft] Mark 2:18. Luke 5:33.
but thy disciples fast not?] Either thy way, or ours, taught us by John, is not right. They use not to fast, as Mark 14:12. and Mark 15:6.
