This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
3. σοῦ δὲ ποιοῦντος. Observe the singular number here and Mat 6:6; the duties of prayer and almsgiving are taught in their personal and individual aspect. The teaching of the Talmud commends secresy in almsgiving in such sayings as ‘he that doeth alms in secret is greater than Moses.’ But the spirit of hypocrisy prevailed; the Pharisees taught and did not.
