In case you need more context, Matthew 6:5-6:
Edit: Please remember that the bible is very internally inconsistent, and it's obviously not factual. It's just funny that the people who claim to be christians don't know their own book.
also more context? because it's a oft mentioned topic: Matthew 23:27-28 New International Version
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
The book is very clear about these kinds of people.
Mathew 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them*, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
But if we read Matthew we won't be able to focus on the parts we really like in the books prohibiting shrimp and mixed fabrics
