Matthew 6:2
This is said by a metaphor from the trumpet in the camps. When they want to gather the army together, they sound the recall. The hypocrites do not want to gather anyone; they want to put on a show for the crowd (Matthew 6:2).
Greek
Ἐκ μεταφορᾶς τοῦτο εἴρηται τῆς ἐν τοῖς στρατοπέδοις σάλπιγγος· ἐκεῖνοι γὰρ ἐπὰν βούλωνται ὁμοῦ συνάγειν τὸν στρατόν, ἠχοῦσι τὸ ἀνα κλητικόν, οἱ δὲ ὑποκριταὶ οὐ συνάγειν βούλονται, ἀλλὰ θεατρίζεσθαι τοῖς πολλοῖς.
