2 “The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man, a king, that made a marriage feast+ for his son.

19 And Jesus said to them: “While the bridegroom is with them the friends of the bridegroom* cannot fast,+ can they? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.+

34 Jesus said to them: “YOU cannot make the friends of the bridegroom* fast while the bridegroom is with them, can YOU?+

29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom.+ However, the friend of the bridegroom, when he stands and hears him, has a great deal of joy on account of the voice of the bridegroom. Therefore this joy of mine has been made full.+

2 I saw also the holy city,+ New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven+ from God and prepared as a bride+ adorned for her husband.+
