Matthew 6:18

so that you do not show [to] people that you are fasting, but [only to] your Father who is in secret (invisible – Gk. kryphaios). Then your Father, who sees [he who is always watchful of what is and what happens] in secret (invisible), will [openly] reward (compensate) you."
[Orthodox Jews fasted two days a week, Monday and Thursday. Not anointing oneself was an outward way of showing sorrow, see Dan. 10:3. Anointing oil on the head brings to mind joy and celebration (Ps. 23:5) – God's presence is inviting and joyful, see Ps. 16:11. The admonitions in these verses are directed against the gloomy attitude toward fasting and the motive to "show" it to people (which here mainly refers to non-believers). There is no prohibition here against talking to other believers about prayer and fasting. On the contrary, the early church prayed and fasted together before important decisions, see Acts 13:2–3; 14:23.]
