23Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,G5119G2980G2424G3793G2532G846G31012"The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat;G3004G1122G2532G5330G2523G1909G3475G25153therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach.G3956G3767G302G3745G2036G5213G5083G5083G2532G4160G1161G4160G3361G2596G846G2041G1063G3004G2532G4160G37564They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them.G1063G1195G926G5413G2532G1419G2532G2007G1909G444G5606G1161G2309G3756G2795G846G846G11475They do all their deeds to be seen by others; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long.G1161G3956G846G2041G4160G4314G2300G444G1161G4115G846G5440G2532G3170G2899G846G24406They love to have the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues,G5037G5368G4411G1722G1173G2532G4410G1722G48647and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have people call them rabbi.G2532G783G1722G58G2532G2564G5259G444G4461G44618But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all students.G1161G2564G3361G5210G2564G4461G1063G1520G2076G5216G2519G5547G1161G3956G5210G2075G809And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father—the one in heaven.G2532G2564G3361G5216G3962G1909G1093G1063G1520G2076G5216G3962G3588G1722G377210Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah.G3366G2564G2519G1063G1520G2076G5216G2519G554711The greatest among you will be your servant.G1161G3187G5216G2071G5216G124912All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.G1161G3748G5312G1438G5013G2532G3748G5013G1438G531213"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. For you do not go in yourselves, and when others are going in, you stop them.G1161G3759G5213G1122G2532G5330G5273G3754G2808G932G3772G1715G444G1063G5210G3761G1525G3756G863G1525G152514Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widow' houses and for the sake of appearance you make long prayers; therefore you will receive the greater condemnation.(????)G3759G5213G1122G2532G5330G5273G3754G2719G5503G3614G2532G4392G4336G3117G4336G1223G5124G2983G4055G291715Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and you make the new convert twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.G3759G5213G1122G2532G5330G5273G3754G4013G2281G2532G3584G4160G1520G4339G2532G3752G1096G4160G846G1362G5207G1067G521616"Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the sanctuary is bound by nothing, but whoever swears by the gold of the sanctuary is bound by the oath.'G3759G5213G5185G3595G3588G3004G3739G302G3660G1722G3485G2076G3762G1161G3739G302G3660G1722G5557G3485G378417You blind fools!

For you tithe mint, dill, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith.

For you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside look beautiful, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead and of all kinds of filth.G3759G5213G1122G2532G5330G5273G3754G3945G2867G5028G3748G3303G5316G5611G1855G1161G2081G1073G3498G3747G2532G3956G16728So you also on the outside look righteous to others, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.G3779G5210G2532G3303G1855G5316G1342G444G1161G2081G2075G3324G5272G2532G45829"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous,G3759G5213G1122G2532G5330G5273G3754G3618G5028G4396G2532G2885G3419G134230and you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'G2532G3004G1487G2258G1722G2250G2257G3962G302G3756G2258G2844G846G1722G129G439631Thus you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets.G5620G3140G1438G3754G2075G5207G5407G439632Fill up, then, the measure of your ancestors.G4137G5210G4137G2532G3358G5216G396233You snakes, you brood of vipers! How can you escape being sentenced to hell?G3789G1081G2191G4459G5343G575G2920G106734Therefore I send you prophets, sages, and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town,G1223G5124G2400G1473G649G4314G5209G4396G2532G4680G2532G1122G2532G1537G846G615G2532G4717G2532G1537G846G3146G1722G5216G4864G2532G1377G575G4172G1519G417235so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.G3704G1909G5209G2064G3956G1342G129G1632G1909G1093G575G129G1342G6G2193G129G2197G5207G914G3739G5407G3342G3485G2532G237936Truly I tell you, all this will come upon this generation.G281G3004G5213G3956G5023G2240G1909G5026G107437"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!
