“For if you forgive others their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

When the crowd saw this, they were afraid and honored God who had given such authority to men.

Jesus looked at them and replied, “This is impossible for mere humans, but for God all things are possible.”

In the same way, on the outside you look righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive you your sins.

For this reason I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

They do all their deeds to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries wide and their tassels long.

“Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

“When you fast, do not look sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unattractive so that people will see them fasting. I tell you the truth, they have their reward.

so that it will not be obvious to others when you are fasting, but only to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
