The question about fasting
See them side by side
Mark 2:18-22
18And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting. And people come and say to him, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20But days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day. 21No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins; but new wine into new wineskins.”
14Then the disciples of John come to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?” 15And Jesus said to them, “The wedding guests cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16And no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old cloak; for the patch pulls away from the cloak, and a worse tear results. 17Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out, and the wineskins are destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
33And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and make petitions, and so do those of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.” 34And he said to them, “You cannot make the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you? 35But days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” 36And he was also telling a parable to them: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise, he will tear the new too, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38But new wine must be put into new wineskins. 39And no one who has drunk old wine wants new; for he says, ‘The old is good.’”
The context
21No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.

Jesus saw the faith of the paralyzed man's friends (v. 5). How can you help someone come to Jesus today?
