I can't for the life of me find the quote that has to deal with a man standing on the corner, preaching, and how that is supposed to not happen.

I'm pretty sure it was in Matthew, but can someone help me out here????

Using www.biblegateway.org , the only thing remotely resembling what you asked for is Matthew 6:5
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full."

This one?

Quote:

Matthew 6:5-6

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Thanks for the Bible Gateway link. I usually use www.crosswalk.com's Bible Study Tools, which also helps with definitions and translations some by linking to Greek and Hebrew dictionaries for most of the words.
