In Jesus' day, it was common practice for Jews to offer their personal prayers in public places. Jesus called them on this for having insincere motives; wanting to be seen by other men as being very religious. Jesus taught that one's relationship to God in prayer is not something for public display, but is a private matter. Matthew 6:5, 6 - "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
