Mat_6:4.
Ὁ
βλέπων
ἐν
τῷ
κρυπτῷ
] who sees, i.e. knows what goes on in secret, where He is equally present. Grotius and Kuinoel arbitrarily take the words to be equivalent to
τὰ
ἐν
τῷ
κρ
.
αὐτὸς
ἀποδώσει
σοι
] He Himself will reward you, that is, at the Messianic judgment (i.e.
ἐν
τῷ
φανερῷ
, 2Co_5:10);
αὐτός
forms a contrast to the human rewards, which the hypocrites, with their ostentatious ways of acting, managed to secure in the shape of applause from their fellow-men, Mat_6:2.
