1 And let not your fastings be with the hypocrites, for they fast on the second and the fifth day of the week; but do ye keep your fast on the fourth and on the preparation (the sixth) day.

2 Neither pray ye as the hypocrites, but as the Lord commanded in His Gospel, thus pray ye:

3 Three times in the day pray ye so.
