SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:34
Y l les dijo: ¿Podis hacer que los que estn de bodas ayunen, entre tanto que el esposo est con ellos?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 34. And he said unto them , etc.] The disciples of John, or the Scribes and Pharisees: can ye make the children of the bride chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? signifying, that he was the bridegroom, and his disciples the children of the bride chamber; and that as it is unreasonable to expect, and morally impossible, that persons, attending the festivals of a nuptial solemnity, should be engaged in severe fastings; so it was not to be thought, that whilst Christ was corporeally present with his disciples, that they should be prevailed upon to live such an austere and mortified life.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-39 - It was a wonder of Christ's grace, that he would call a publican to be his disciple and follower. It was a wonder of his grace, that the cal was made so effectual. It was a wonder of his grace, that he came to call sinners to repentance, and to assure them of pardon. It was wonder of his grace, that he so patiently bore the contradiction of sinners against himself and his disciples. It was a wonder of his grace, that he fixed the services of his disciples according to their strength and standing. The Lord trains up his people gradually for the trials allotted them; we should copy his example in dealing with the weak in faith, or the tempted believer __________________________________________________________________

34. Children of the bride-chamber. Better, as Rev., sons (niouv). See on Mark ii. 19.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
5:34 {Can ye} (me dunasqe). So Luke, adding {make}, poiesai, where Mark and Matthew have me dunantai. All three have me and expect the answer no.
