{In the synagogues and in the corners of the streets} (en
tais sunag(9367)ais kai en tais g(936e)iais t(936e) platei(936e)). These were
the usual places of prayer (synagogues) and the street corners
where crowds stopped for business or talk. If the hour of prayer
overtook a Pharisee here, he would strike his attitude of prayer
like a modern Moslem that men might see that he was pious.
