Even though Jesus Christ never commanded his disciples to fast, he and his followers fasted on Atonement Day because they were under the Mosaic Law.
Edhe pse Jezu Krishti nuk i urdhëroi kurrë dishepujt e tij që të agjëronin, ai dhe ithtarët e tij agjëruan ditën e shlyerjes, sepse ishin nën ligjin e Moisiut.
