Original Texts

King James Version Matthew 6:5

5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Strong’s Greek Matthew 6:5

Προσέχετε μὴ ποιεῖν ὑμῶν δικαιοσύνην ἔμπροσθεν ἀνθρώπων θεαθῆναι αὐτοῖς εἰ δὲ μή¦γε ἔχετε οὐκ μισθὸν παρὰ ὑμῶν Πατρὶ ἐν οὐρανοῖς

Prosechete mē poiein hymōn dikaiosynēn emprosthen anthrōpōn theathēnai autois ei de mē¦ge echete ouk misthon para hymōn Patri en ouranois

5. Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If [you do] you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven.

Salkinson-Ginsburg Hebrew N.T. Matthew 6:5 (Read Left To Right)

וְכִי תָבֹאוּ לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אַל־תִּהְיוּ כְּאַנְשֵׁי חֹנֶף הָאֹהֲבִים לַעֲמֹד לְהִתְפַּלֵּל בְּבָתֵּי הַכְּנֵסֶת וּפִנּוֹת הַשְּׁוָקִים לְמַעַן תִּירְאֶינָה אֹתָם עֵינֵי בְנֵי־הָאָדָם אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם הִנֵּה שְׂכָרָם לִפְנֵיהֶם׃

5. And when you come to pray, do not be like those who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and open the marketplaces so that the eyes of men may see them. Amen, I say to you, their reward is before them.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

VI (1) From the protest against the casuistry which tampered with and distorted the great primary commandments, the Sermon on the Mount passes to the defects of character and action which vitiated the religion of Pharisaism even where it was at its best. Its excellence had been that it laid stress, as the religion of Islam did afterwards, on the three great duties of the religious life, almsgiving, fasting, and prayer, rather than on sacrifices and offerings. Verbally, Pharisaism accepted on this point the widest and most spiritual teaching of the prophets, and so its home was in the Synagogue rather than the Temple, and it gained a hold on the minds of the people which the priests never gained. But a subtle evil found its way even here. Love of praise and power, rather than spontaneous love, and self-denial, and adoration, was the mainspring of their action, and so that which is the essence of all religion was absent even from the acts in which the purest and highest form of religion naturally shows itself.

Your alms.—The better MSS. give righteousness, and obviously with a far truer meaning, as the wider word which branches off afterwards into the three heads of alms, fasting, prayer. In Rabbinic language the whole was often used for the part, and “righteousness” was identified with “mercifulness,” and that with giving money. The Greek version of the LXX. often renders the Hebrew word for righteousness by “alms.” In the New Testament, however, there is no such narrowing of its meaning, and here the full significance of the word is fixed by its use in Matthew 5:20. The reading “alms” probably arose from a misconception of the real meaning of the passage, and the consequent assumption that it simply introduced the rule given in Matthew 6:2-3.

To be seen of them.—It is the motive, and not the fact of publicity, that vitiates the action. The high ideal of the disciple of Christ is to let his light shine “before men” (the self-same words are used in Matthew 5:16 as here), and yet to be indifferent to their praise or even their opinion. In most religious men there is probably a mingling of the two motives, and we dare not say at what precise stage the presence of the lower overpowers the higher. It is enough to remember that it is the little speck which may taint the whole character till it loses all its life.

Of your Father which is in heaven.—More accurately, with your Father, as meaning, “in His estimate.” The act is not done to and for Him, and therefore (speaking after the manner of men) He looks on it as having no claim to payment.
