Matthew 23:1-7 ▼

1 Then spake Iesus to the multitudes, and to his disciples,

2 Saying: The Scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moyses seate.

3 All therfore, whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and do: but do not ye after their workes, for they say, and do not.

4 Yea, they bynde together heauy burthens, and greeuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders: but they them selues wyll not moue them with one of their fingers.

5 All their workes they do, for to be sene of men: They make broade their philacteries, and enlarge the hemmes of their garmentes.

6 And loue the vppermost seates at feastes, and to syt in the chiefe place in councels,

7 And greetynges in the markettes, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
