Mateus 6:7

Listen to Mateus 6:7
7 E, quando orarem, não fiquem sempre repetindo a mesma coisa, como fazem os pagãos. Eles pensam que por muito falarem serão ouvidos.

Mateus 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 6:7

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions
Saying the same things over and over again,

as the Heathens do,
as the worshippers of Baal, from morning till noon, ( 1 Kings 18:26 ) . This our Lord observes, to dissuade from such practices, because the Gentiles, who were odious to the Jews, used them, and the Jews were guilty of the same; had they not, there would not have been any need of such advice:

for they think they shall be heard for their much speaking;
as did the Jews, who, under pretence of "long prayers", devoured widows' houses; and with whom it is an axiom, that "everyone (hnen hlyptb) (hbrmh) , that multiplies prayer is heard" F8; and whoever prolongs his prayer, his prayer does not return empty; and he that is long in prayer, his days are prolonged F9: and, according to their canons, every day a man ought to pray eighteen prayers. Moreover, their prayer books abound in tautologies, and in expressing the same things in different words, and by a multiplicity of them.

Mateus 6:7 In-Context

5 “E, quando vocês orarem, não sejam como os hipócritas. Eles gostam de ficar orando em pé nas sinagogas e nas esquinas, a fim de serem vistos pelos outros. Eu asseguro que eles já receberam sua plena recompensa.
6 Mas, quando você orar, vá para seu quarto, feche a porta e ore a seu Pai, que está em secreto. Então seu Pai, que vê em secreto, o recompensará.
7 E, quando orarem, não fiquem sempre repetindo a mesma coisa, como fazem os pagãos. Eles pensam que por muito falarem serão ouvidos.
8 Não sejam iguais a eles, porque o seu Pai sabe do que vocês precisam, antes mesmo de o pedirem.
9 Vocês, orem assim:“Pai nosso, que estás nos céus!Santificado seja o teu nome.
