matthew 6:17 "But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face

17. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face--as the Jews did, except when mourning (Da 10:3); so that the meaning is, "Appear as usual"--appear so as to attract no notice.

matthew 6:17 "But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face
