1. Then spoke Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2. Saying,
3. All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not according to their works: for they say, and do not.
4. 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.
5. But all their works they do to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6. And love the uppermost places at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7. And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8. But you be not called Rabbi: for one is your Teacher, even Christ; and all you are brothers.
9. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.
10. Neither be you called masters: for one is your Teacher, even Christ.
11. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither allow you them that are entering to go in.
14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater condemnation.
