1
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,
2
saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
3
Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.
4
For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers
5
But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.
6
They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7
greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.'
8
But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.
9
Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
10
And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.
11
But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
