Exegesis
The verse opens with panta de ta erga autōn poiousin {πάντα δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν ποιοῦσιν | pán-ta dè tà ér-ga au-tôn poi-oû-sin} “they do all their works,” where the fronted panta “all” gives prominence to the comprehensive extent of their behavior.
In context — Matthew 23:5
But all their works they do to be seen by people; for they make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.
