In the New Testament, Matthew 23:5 records Jesus saying: "But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments." It is commonly held by scholars that Jesus was an observant Jew who wore tefillin.[1][2] The common interpretation of Jesus' statement has been that one should not do the commands of God with the motivation to be seen as more righteous and more zealous by others, which displays a prideful heart.[3][4]
