9君尊的救主在对付旧宗教里自义并持异议的法利赛人时，指明祂是医生，要医治有病的人（太九12）。祂在对付新宗教里禁食并持异议的约翰门徒时，启示自己是新郎，要娶新妇。施浸者约翰曾告诉他的门徒说，基督是新郎，要娶新妇（约三25~29）。现在基督，君尊的救主，将这事提醒他们中间的一些人。君尊的救主首先医治跟从祂的人，然后使他们成为伴友，至终要使他们成为祂的新妇。他们不仅应当把祂当作医生，好恢复他们的生命，也应当把祂当作新郎，好享受与祂同在的生活。他们乃是与祂同在喜乐的婚礼中，并不是参加没有祂的悲哀葬礼。既是这样，他们怎能在君尊的救主面前禁食而不宴乐？这异议的问题〔太九14〕指明，约翰的一些门徒已经落到新宗教里，并且也弃绝了君尊的救主。 9In dealing with the self-righteous and dissenting Pharisees, who were of the old religion, the kingly Savior indicated that He was a Physician who had come to heal the sick (Matt. 9:12). In dealing with the fasting and dissenting disciples of John, who were of the new religion, He revealed Himself as the Bridegroom who had come to take the bride. John the Baptist told his disciples that Christ was the Bridegroom who had come to take the bride (John 3:25-29). Now Christ, the kingly Savior, reminded some of them of this. The kingly Savior first healed His followers and then made them the sons of the bridechamber; eventually, He will make them His bride. They should have laid hold of Him not only as their Physician, that their life might be recovered, but also as their Bridegroom, that they might have the enjoyment of living in His presence. They were with Him at a joyful wedding, not without Him at a mournful funeral. How then could they fast and not feast before Him? This dissenting question from John’s disciples [Matt. 9:14] indicated that some of them had fallen into a new religion and had rejected the kingly Savior.
