He said: Come with me and see how I am on fire with zeal for Jehovah's cause. So he made him go with him in his chariot.
Do not loudly announce it when you give to the poor. The hypocrites do this in the houses of worship and on the streets. They do this to be praised by men. Believe me, they have already been paid in full.
Do not pray like the hypocrites! They want everyone to see them in the houses of worship and on the street corners. I assure you they have been paid in full.
When you abstain from food, do not be like the hypocrites, with sad faces to be seen by men. They have received their reward.
They do everything to be seen by men. For example: they enlarge their scripture cases for their foreheads and lengthen the tassels on their garments.
I fast twice per week. I give tithes of all that I get.
