Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men, to be seen by them.

To be seen by them.

READER 3

To be noticed and praised.

If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

No reward.

READER 3

No notice.

READER 2

So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets,

READER 2

Ta-ta-TAAH [simulating a trumpet]

READER 1

Do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men.

To be considered men of honor.

READER 3

Honored by men.

READER 1

I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

READER 2

In full.

READER 3

Completely.

READER 1

But when you give to the needy,

READER 2

The poor,

READER 3

Those without enough to eat,

READER 1

Or enough clothes to wear,

READER 2

Who lack what you have.

READER 3

The needy.

READER 2

The poor.

READER 1

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.

READER 2

Secret.

READER 3

Private

READER 2

Unnoticed.

READER 1

Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

He sees what is done in secret.

READER 3

He notices.

He sees.

READER 3

And will reward you.

READER 2

He will smile.

READER 3

He is pleased.

READER 1

Your Father,

READER 2

Who sees what is done in secret,

READER 3

Will reward you.
