Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “(A) The scribes and (B) the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, therefore do and keep whatever they may tell you, but do not do the works that they do. For (1) they say, but don’t do. (2) They bind together heavy burdens, hard to bear, and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. (3) They do all their works to be seen by others. For (4) they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and (5) they love the place of honour at dinners and (6) the best seats in the synagogues and (7) greetings in the marketplaces and (8) being called my honourable teacher by others. But (a) you may not be called my honourable teacher, for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters. And (b) you may not call any your father on earth, for one is your Father, who is in heaven. (c) You may not be called directors, for one is your director, the Anointed One of God. The greater of you will be your servant and he who will exalt himself will be humbled, and he who will humble himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23: 1-12 | |||||||||||
