Matthew 6:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible
15 But if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive you.’
Jesus teaches people about different things
16 Jesus then said, ‘You may decide to fast for some time.[a] But do not look sad so that people know you are doing a special thing. Hypocrites want people to see how good they are. They make their faces dirty. Then other people can see that they are fasting. I tell you this: people have praised them and that is the only gift that they will get. 17 But when you fast for some time, you should wash your face. Make your hair look nice.

- 6:16 Some people stop eating for hours or days so that they can have more time with God. This causes them to feel nearer to God when they pray. But the hypocrites did it for the wrong reason.
