This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But all their works they do for to be seen of men - Whatever good they do, or zeal they show, has but one motive - human applause.
they make broad their phylacteries - strips of parchment with Scripture-texts on them, worn on the forehead, arm, and side, in time of prayer.
and enlarge the borders of their garments - fringes of their upper garments (Num 15:37-40).
