To the best of my knowledge, when Jews fast they either have - a **minor fast**, where they don't eat or drink anything at all, not even water, from sunrise until what they traditionally consider the next day, that is, sunset, OR - a **full fast**, in which, again, total restraint from all food and drink, from sunrise until sunset, and *throughout* the darkness of the "next day", so that is a full 24-hour day in our modern understanding. When Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert (*cf*. Matthew 4:1-11), did he not have anything to eat or drink at all?
