New Testament

Matthew 23:1-7 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

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.
