New Testament

Matthew 23:9-16 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

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.

11. But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.

12. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

13. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

14. “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.

15. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehinnom as yourselves.

16. “Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
