But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Todo lo que hacen es solo para presumir, para llamar la atención y recibir aprobación de la gente. Hacen sus cajas de oración extra grandes y obvias, y usan símbolos religiosos demasiado llamativos, todo para que todos noten lo 'santos' que son.
Los líderes religiosos hacían todo para impresionar a otros, no por verdadera devoción a Dios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of Jesus, the Pharisees were influential religious leaders in Jewish society who emphasized strict adherence to the Law of Moses and traditional practices. They wore phylacteries, which were small leather boxes containing verses from the Torah strapped to their foreheads and arms, and they enlarged the tassels on their garments as a visible sign of their piety and commitment to God's commandments. However, Jesus was addressing their hypocrisy in this passage from the Sermon on the Mount, where He highlighted how these outward displays were often motivated by a desire for human approval rather than genuine devotion to God.
