9. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
10. Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.
11. But the greatest among you shall be your servant.
12. Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
13. "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
14. [Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.]
15. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
16. "Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.'
17. You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?
18. And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering on it, he is obligated.'
19. You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?
20. Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.
