THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

23:1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

23:2Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

23:3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

23:4For 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.

23:5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

23:6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

23:7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

23:8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

23:9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

23:10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

23:11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

23:12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
