1. Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2. Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses's seat.
3. All therefore, whatever they bid you observe, that observe and do: but do not ye 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 by men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6. And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7. And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father who is in heaven.
10. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, even Christ.
11. But he that is greatest among you, shall be your servant.
12. And whoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted.
