147:7.1 It was around noon on Monday, May 3, when [[Jesus]] and [[the twelve]] came to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] by boat from [http://books.google.com/books?id=e3jnUBqapi0C&pg=PA71&lpg=PA71&dq=tarichea&source=bl&ots=TQmo_szFWy&sig=mpFK1Mxw5-CPQpKY1Rhp8kNnn94&hl=en&ei=mRudTc-TB8OutweylIGuBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=tarichea&f=false Tarichea].

147:7.2 On Tuesday evening [[Jesus]] was conducting one of his customary classes of questions and answers when the [[leader]] of the six [[spies]] said to him: " I was today talking with one of [[John the Baptist|John]]'s [[disciples]] who is here attending upon your teaching, and we were at a loss to [[understand]] why you never command your [[disciples]] to [[fast]] and [[pray]] as we [[Pharisees]] fast and as [[John the Baptist|John]] bade his followers. " And [[Jesus]], referring to a [[statement]] by John, answered this questioner: " Do the sons of the bridechamber [[fast]] while the bridegroom is with them? As long as the bridegroom remains with them, they can hardly [[fast]]. But the time is coming when the bridegroom shall be taken away, and during those times the [[children]] of the bridechamber undoubtedly will [[fast]] and [[pray]]. To pray is [[natural]] for the children of [[light]], but [[fasting]] is not a part of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] of heaven. Be reminded that a [[wise]] tailor does not sew a piece of new and unshrunk cloth upon an old garment, lest, when it is wet, it shrink and produce a worse rent. Neither do men put new wine into old wine skins, lest the new wine burst the skins so that both the wine and the skins perish. The [[wise]] man puts the new wine into fresh wine skins.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_5] Therefore do my [[disciples]] show [[wisdom]] in that they do not bring too much of the old order over into the new teaching of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]]. You who have lost your teacher may be [[justified]] in [[fasting]] for a time. [[Fasting]] may be an appropriate part of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah law of Moses], but in the coming kingdom the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:6._THE_FAITH_SONS_OF_GOD sons of God] shall [[experience]] [[freedom]] from [[fear]] and [[joy]] in the [[Thought Adjuster|divine spirit]. " And when they heard these [[words]], the [[disciples]] of [[John the Baptist|John]] were [[comforted]] while the [[Pharisees]] themselves were the more confounded.

147:7.3 Then [[the Master]] [[proceeded]] to [[warn]] his hearers against entertaining the notion that all olden teaching should be replaced entirely by new [[doctrines]]. Said [[Jesus]]: " That which is old and also [[true]] must abide. Likewise, that which is new but [[false]] must be rejected. But that which is new and also true, have the [[faith]] and [[courage]] to [[accept]]. Remember it is [[written]]: `Forsake not an old [[friend]], for the new is not comparable to him. As new wine, so is a new [[friend]]; if it becomes old, you shall drink it with [[gladness]].' "
