New Testament

Matthew 23:1-10 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

1. Then Yeshua spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,

2. saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses’ seat.

3. All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.

4. For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.

5. But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their tefillin broad, enlarge the fringes of their garments,

6. and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

7. the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.

8. But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi,’ for one is your Rabbi, the Messiah, and all of you are brothers.

9. Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.

10. Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah.
