15 At this Jesus said to them: “The friends of the bridegroom* have no reason to mourn as long as the bridegroom+ is with them, do they? But days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away+ from them, and then they will fast.+
9 And he tells me: “Write: Happy are those invited*+ to the evening meal of the Lamb’s marriage.”*+ Also, he tells me: “These are the true sayings of God.”+
