# Can wedding attendants be sorrowful while the bridegroom is still with them?
# Can the sons of the wedding hall mourn while the bridegroom is still with them?
Jesus uses a question to answer John's disciples. They all knew that people do not mourn and fast at a wedding celebration. Jesus uses this proverb to show that his disciples do not mourn because he is still there with them.
