Mt 23,4 - Židovskí zákonníci patrili väčšinou do strany farizejov. Keďže sa vydávali za opatrovníkov ústneho podania (porov. Mt 15, 2), vymýšľali rozličné predpisy, ktoré sa vzťahovali na všetky životné situácie až do najmenších podrobností.

Pri rannej modlitbe viazali si ich na čelo a na ľavé rameno naproti srdcu, čo malo naznačovať, že pamätajú na Zákon, a preto srdce i myseľ majú obrátené k Bohu (Ex 13, 9. 16; Dt 6, 4–9; 11, 13–21). Zákonníci a farizeji nosili veľmi široké modlitebné remienky, aby každému bolo na prvý pohľad zrejmé, že práve oni si veľmi vážia Zákon.Podľa iného predpisu (Nm 15, 38–39 a Dt 22, 12) zasa nosili strapce na štyroch rohoch plášťa, aby si pri pohľade na ne spomenuli, že sú príslušníkmi vyvoleného národa, ktorý dostal od Boha Zákon. Všetko to farizeji a zákonníci využívali, aby dali svetu najavo svoju veľkú horlivosť za Zákon.
