Several different versions of Mark 2:19:

“And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” RSV

“And Jesus said to them, “While the groom is with them, the attendants of the groom cannot fast, can they?” NASB

“Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them?” NIV

“Jesus said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them?” WEB

“And Jesus said to them, `Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast?” YLT

Jesus refers to the disciples not as the bride of Christ but as groomsmen. If the disciples are groomsmen, who is the bride?
