He tells His disciples not to be like the hypocrites, praying in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.
A. He tells His disciples, ‘If you are going to say this extravagant prayer, go into your room and shut the door.’
2. In the next verse, He returns to the hypocrites, calling them heathens and telling the disciples not to use vain words, for the heathens think that they will be heard for their many words.
3.
He then gives an example of a short, public prayer.

A. Notice six things:
Public prayer is not praying with a group; it is praying in public to be seen.

He took Peter, James, and John a little further.
He then left Peter, James, and John and went further yet to pray Himself.
Upon His return to Peter, James, and John, He did not rebuke them as a group.
Even with His close friends present, this was a private prayer not to be heard by the entire group.
