I find it amusing that your first question on this thread was something akin to "well, Jesus never prayed in public...show me in the Bible where Jesus prayed in public!"
And then when we did, you now switch your question to "where does it say to pray publicly."

Got anything where it says not to pray quietly to yourself before eating?
No, but I'll give him this:
Quote:Matthew 14:19
Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

Anyway...
Quote:1 Thessalonians 5:17-19
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
You're welcome!

Posted from my mobile device using the CSNbbs App
It's important to note that what you have quoted IS an interpretation, and not what was actually written.
What it says is FAR closer to 'when you pray, don't do it seeking man's approval (like the hypocrites do) but seeking God's.... for if you do it seeking man's approval, that is all you shall get'. If you do it in private, you clearly aren't seeking man's approval... but God knows your heart, so He knows the difference between an earnest public prayer and one done 'for show'
That, too is an interpretation, but far closer to what is actually said.
