Matthew 23

Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees

Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,

Woes to Scribes and Pharisees

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,

saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.

saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat:

Therefore whatever they tell you [a]to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.

all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for they say and do not,

For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger.

But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.

And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders [of their garments],

They love the [b]best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

and love the chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,

greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’

and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your [c]Teacher, [d]the Christ, and you are all brethren.

But *ye*, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all *ye* are brethren.

Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.

And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.

Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

But the greatest of you shall be your servant.

And whoever exalts himself will be [e]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be [f]exalted.

And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for *ye* do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.
