This should be a fairly simple and straightforward question, not like some of the ones posted. =D
I was reading through Mark and it became apparent to me that in Mark 2:19, Mark says that Jesus called himself the bridegroom, and that while the bridegroom is with the disciples, they won't fast but once the bridegroom goes away, then they will fast.
Why does he use bridegroom? Is there some OT tradition that I am not aware of that says those with the bridegroom must not fast? I mean it seems that he is able to use a plethora of other words, and yet he chooses bridegroom. Just wondering why. =D
