Matthew 23

1  Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples,

2  Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat:

3  All things therefore whatsoever they bid you, `these' do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.

4  Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.

5  But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders `of their garments',

6  And love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7  And the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.

8  But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.

9  And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, `even' he who is in heaven.

10  Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, `even' the Christ.
