MATTHEW 23:1-14
THEN SPAKE JESUS
TO THE MULTITUDE,
AND TO HIS DISCIPLES.
SAYING
THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES
SIT IN MOSES' SEAT:
ALL THEREFORE
WHATSOEVER THEY BID
YOU OBSERVE, THAT
OBSERVE AND DO;
BUT DO NOT YE AFTER
THEIR WORKS:
FOR
THEY SAY, AND DO NOT.
FOR THEY
BIND HEAVY
BURDENS AND GRIEVOUS
TO BE BORNE,
AND
LAY THEM
ON
MEN'S SHOULDERS;
BUT THEY THEMSELVES
WILL NOT MOVE THEM
WITH ONE OF
THEIR FINGERS.
BUT ALL THEIR WORKS
THEY DO FOR
TO BE SEEN OF MEN:
THEY
MAKE BROAD
THEIR PHYLACTERIES,
AND
ENLARGE
THE BORDER OF THEIR GARMENTS,
AND
LOVE
THE UPPERMOST
ROOMS AT FEAST,
AND
THE CHIEF SEATS
IN THE
SYNAGOGUES,
AND
GREETINGS IN THE MARKETS,
AND
TO BE
CALLED OF, RABBI,
RABBI.
BUT BE
NOT YE CALLED
RABBI:
FOR ONE IS YOUR MASTER,
EVEN CHRIST;
AND ALL YE
ARE BRETHREN.
AND
CALL NO MAN
YOUR FATHER
UPON THE EARTH:
FOR ONE IS YOUR FATHER,
WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
NEITHER
BE YE CALLED
MASTERS:
FOR ONE IS YOUR MASTER,
EVEN CHRIST.
BUT HE THAT
IS GREATEST
AMONG
YOU SHALL BE
YOUR SERVANT.
AND
WHOSOEVER SHALL
EXALT HIMSELF
SHALL
BE ABASED;
AND
HE THAT SHALL
HUMBLE HIMSELF
SHALL BE EXALTED
BUT WOE
UNTO YOU,
SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,
HYPOCRITES!
FOR YE SHUT UP
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
AGAINST MEN:
FOR YE NEITHER GO IN YOURSELVES, NEITHER SUFFER
YE THEM THAT ARE
ENTERING TO GO IN.
WOE UNTO YOU,
SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,
HYPOCRITES!
FOR YE DEVOUR WIDOWS'
HOUSES,
AND
FOR A PRETENCE
MAKE LONG PRAYER:
THEREFORE
YE SHALL RECEIVE
THE GREATER DAMNATION.
LOVE
