齊，必有明衣，布。齊，必變食，居必遷坐。When fasting, he always had a clean garment of plain cloth. When fasting, he always changed his diet and moved to a different place to sit.
What this chapter says
一孔按：斋戒时一定浴后穿布做的明衣，改变饮食，不饮酒不吃荤，换个地方住。斋是让心思专一以交神明，所以起居饮食都跟着变。常有人问：孔子斋戒“必变食，居必迁坐”，为什么连吃住都要变？上面是一孔录的回答。

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | 斋变食 | word sense | fairly sure | 杨列不酒茹荤等三说并讨论，朱主不酒不茹荤；明衣布均非今棉布，朱另疑寝衣简错次。 |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以明衣为斋浴后洁身之衣、变食迁处专致诚敬。钱按沐浴食居说明；朱另认前章寝衣一简应移在本章，此错简说不见于钱本本章。 |
