23:5

The Douay-Rheims Bible is a translation of the Bible into English by the Catholic Church. It is based on the Latin Vulgate.
23:5

And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad and enlarge their fringes.

Phylacteries…​ that is, parchments, on which they wrote the ten commandments, and carried them on their foreheads before their eyes: which the Pharisees affected to wear broader than other men; so to seem more zealous for the law.
