Matthew 23

Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees

Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,

Woes to Scribes and Pharisees

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

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

Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit 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 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, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

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 to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.

But all their works they do for to be seen of men: 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 uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

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

And greetings in the markets, 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 be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; 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 no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

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

Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

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

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

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

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that 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 heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
