Matthew 23:1–12

Then ^aspake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, ²Saying, ^bThe scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: ³All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for ^cthey say, and do not. ^4ccFor 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. ⁵But all their works they do ^dfor to be seen of men: they make broad ^etheir phylacteries, and enlarge ^fthe borders of their garments, ⁶And love ^gthe uppermost rooms at feasts, and ^hthe chief seats in the synagogues, ⁷And ^ghgreetings in the markets, and to be called of men, ⁱRabbi, Rabbi. ^8kBut be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your ^lMaster, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. ⁹And call ^mno man your father upon the earth: ⁿfor one is your Father, which is in heaven. ¹⁰Neither be ye called ^omasters: for one is your ^oMaster, even Christ. ¹¹But ^phe that is greatest among you shall be your ^qservant. ¹²And ^rwhosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
