1. Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
2. saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat:
3. all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for they say and do not,
4. but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger.
5. And 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 in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,
7. and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8. But ye, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all ye are brethren.
9. And call not any one your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.
10. Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.
11. But the greatest of you shall be your servant.
12. And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
