23:1 Then [G5119] spake [G2980] Jesus [G2424] to the multitude [G3793] , and [G2532] to his [G846] disciples [G3101] ,

23:2 Saying [G3004] , The scribes [G1122] and [G2532] the Pharisees [G5330] sit [G2523] in [G1909] Moses' [G3475] seat [G2515] :

23:3 All [G3956] therefore [G3767] whatsoever [G302] [G3745] they bid [G2036] you [G5213] observe [G5083] , [that] observe [G5083] and [G2532] do [G4160] ; but [G1161] do [G4160] not [G3361] ye after [G2596] their [G846] works [G2041] : for [G1063] they say [G3004] , and [G2532] do [G4160] not [G3756] .

23:4 For [G1063] they bind [G1195] heavy [G926] burdens [G5413] and [G2532] grievous to be borne [G1419] , and [G2532] lay [G2007] [them] on [G1909] men's [G444] shoulders [G5606] ; but [G1161] they [themselves] will [G2309] not [G3756] move [G2795] them [G846] with one of their [G846] fingers [G1147] .

23:5 But [G1161] all [G3956] their [G846] works [G2041] they do [G4160] for [G4314] to be seen [G2300] of men [G444] : [G1161] they make broad [G4115] their [G846] phylacteries [G5440] , and [G2532] enlarge [G3170] the borders [G2899] of their [G846] garments [G2440] ,(phylacteries: pieces of parchment containing sentences of the law)

23:6 And [G5037] love [G5368] the uppermost rooms [G4411] at [G1722] feasts [G1173] , and [G2532] the chief seats [G4410] in [G1722] the synagogues [G4864] ,

23:7 And [G2532] greetings [G783] in [G1722] the markets [G58] , and [G2532] to be called [G2564] of [G5259] men [G444] , Rabbi [G4461] , Rabbi [G4461] .

23:8 But [G1161] be [G2564] not [G3361] ye [G5210] called [G2564] Rabbi [G4461] : for [G1063] one [G1520] is [G2076] your [G5216] Master [G2519] , [even] Christ [G5547] ; and [G1161] all [G3956] ye [G5210] are [G2075] brethren [G80] .

23:9 And [G2532] call [G2564] no [G3361] [man] your [G5216] father [G3962] upon [G1909] the earth [G1093] : for [G1063] one [G1520] is [G2076] your [G5216] Father [G3962] , which [G3588] is in [G1722] heaven [G3772] .

23:10 Neither [G3366] be ye called [G2564] masters [G2519] : for [G1063] one [G1520] is [G2076] your [G5216] Master [G2519] , [even] Christ [G5547] .

23:11 But [G1161] he that is greatest [G3187] among you [G5216] shall be [G2071] your [G5216] servant [G1249] .

23:12 And [G1161] whosoever [G3748] shall exalt [G5312] himself [G1438] shall be abased [G5013] ; and [G2532] he [G3748] that shall humble [G5013] himself [G1438] shall be exalted [G5312] .

23:13 But [G1161] woe [G3759] unto you [G5213] , scribes [G1122] and [G2532] Pharisees [G5330] , hypocrites [G5273] ! for [G3754] ye shut up [G2808] the kingdom [G932] of heaven [G3772] against [G1715] men [G444] : for [G1063] ye [G5210] neither [G3761] go in [G1525] [yourselves], neither [G3756] suffer ye [G863] them that are entering [G1525] to go in [G1525] .

23:14 Woe [G3759] unto you [G5213] , scribes [G1122] and [G2532] Pharisees [G5330] , hypocrites [G5273] ! for [G3754] ye devour [G2719] widows' [G5503] houses [G3614] , and [G2532] for a pretence [G4392] make [G4336] long [G3117] prayer [G4336] : therefore [G1223] [G5124] ye shall receive [G2983] the greater [G4055] damnation [G2917] .

23:15 Woe [G3759] unto you [G5213] , scribes [G1122] and [G2532] Pharisees [G5330] , hypocrites [G5273] ! for [G3754] ye compass [G4013] sea [G2281] and [G2532] land [G3584] to make [G4160] one [G1520] proselyte [G4339] , and [G2532] when [G3752] he is made [G1096] , ye make [G4160] him [G846] twofold more [G1362] the child [G5207] of hell [G1067] than yourselves [G5216] .

23:16 Woe [G3759] unto you [G5213] , [ye] blind [G5185] guides [G3595] , which [G3588] say [G3004] , Whosoever [G3739] [G302] shall swear [G3660] by [G1722] the temple [G3485] , it is [G2076] nothing [G3762] ; but [G1161] whosoever [G3739] [G302] shall swear [G3660] by [G1722] the gold [G5557] of the temple [G3485] , he is a debtor [G3784] !

23:17 [Ye] fools [G3474] and [G2532] blind [G5185] : for [G1063] whether [G5101] is [G2076] greater [G3187] , the gold [G5557] , or [G2228] the temple [G3485] that sanctifieth [G37] the gold [G5557] ?

23:18 And [G2532] , Whosoever [G3739] [G1437] shall swear [G3660] by [G1722] the altar [G2379] , it is [G2076] nothing [G3762] ; but [G1161] whosoever [G3739] [G302] sweareth [G3660] by [G1722] the gift [G1435] that is upon [G1883] it [G846] , he is guilty [G3784] .(guilty: or, debtor, or, bound)

23:19 [Ye] fools [G3474] and [G2532] blind [G5185] : for [G1063] whether [G5101] [is] greater [G3187] , the gift [G1435] , or [G2228] the altar [G2379] that sanctifieth [G37] the gift [G1435] ?

23:20 Whoso therefore [G3767] shall swear [G3660] by [G1722] the altar [G2379] , sweareth [G3660] by [G1722] it [G846] , and [G2532] by [G1722] all things [G3956] thereon [G1883] [G846] .

23:21 And [G2532] whoso shall swear [G3660] by [G1722] the temple [G3485] , sweareth [G3660] by [G1722] it [G846] , and [G2532] by [G1722] him that dwelleth [G2730] therein [G846] .

23:22 And [G2532] he that shall swear [G3660] by [G1722] heaven [G3772] , sweareth [G3660] by [G1722] the throne [G2362] of God [G2316] , and [G2532] by [G1722] him that sitteth [G2521] thereon [G1883] [G846] .

23:23 Woe [G3759] unto you [G5213] , scribes [G1122] and [G2532] Pharisees [G5330] , hypocrites [G5273] ! for [G3754] ye pay tithe [G586] of mint [G2238] and [G2532] anise [G432] and [G2532] cummin [G2951] , and [G2532] have omitted [G863] the weightier [G926] [matters] of the law [G3551] , judgment [G2920] , [G2532] mercy [G1656] , and [G2532] faith [G4102] : these [G5023] ought ye [G1163] to have done [G4160] , and not [G3361] to leave [G863] the other [G2548] undone [G863] .(anise: Gr. dill)

23:24 [Ye] blind [G5185] guides [G3595] , which strain at [G1368] a gnat [G2971] , and [G1161] swallow [G2666] a camel [G2574] .

23:25 Woe [G3759] unto you [G5213] , scribes [G1122] and [G2532] Pharisees [G5330] , hypocrites [G5273] ! for [G3754] ye make clean [G2511] the outside [G1855] of the cup [G4221] and [G2532] of the platter [G3953] , but [G1161] within [G2081] they are full [G1073] of [G1537] extortion [G724] and [G2532] excess [G192] .

23:26 [Thou] blind [G5185] Pharisee [G5330] , cleanse [G2511] first [G4412] that [which is] within [G1787] the cup [G4221] and [G2532] platter [G3953] , that [G2443] the outside [G1622] of them [G846] may be [G1096] clean [G2513] also [G2532] .

23:27 Woe [G3759] unto you [G5213] , scribes [G1122] and [G2532] Pharisees [G5330] , hypocrites [G5273] ! for [G3754] ye are like [G3945] unto whited [G2867] sepulchres [G5028] , which [G3748] indeed [G3303] appear [G5316] beautiful [G5611] outward [G1855] , but [G1161] are within [G2081] full [G1073] of dead [G3498] [men's] bones [G3747] , and [G2532] of all [G3956] uncleanness [G167] .

23:28 Even so [G3779] ye [G5210] also [G2532] [G3303] outwardly [G1855] appear [G5316] righteous [G1342] unto men [G444] , but [G1161] within [G2081] ye are [G2075] full [G3324] of hypocrisy [G5272] and [G2532] iniquity [G458] .

23:29 Woe [G3759] unto you [G5213] , scribes [G1122] and [G2532] Pharisees [G5330] , hypocrites [G5273] ! because [G3754] ye build [G3618] the tombs [G5028] of the prophets [G4396] , and [G2532] garnish [G2885] the sepulchres [G3419] of the righteous [G1342] ,

23:30 And [G2532] say [G3004] , If [G1487] we had been [G2258] in [G1722] the days [G2250] of our [G2257] fathers [G3962] , we would [G302] not [G3756] have been [G2258] partakers [G2844] with them [G846] in [G1722] the blood [G129] of the prophets [G4396] .

23:31 Wherefore [G5620] ye be witnesses [G3140] unto yourselves [G1438] , that [G3754] ye are [G2075] the children [G5207] of them which killed [G5407] the prophets [G4396] .

23:32 Fill [G4137] ye [G5210] up [G4137] then [G2532] the measure [G3358] of your [G5216] fathers [G3962] .

23:33 [Ye] serpents [G3789] , [ye] generation [G1081] of vipers [G2191] , how [G4459] can ye [G5343] escape [G575] the damnation [G2920] of hell [G1067] ?

23:34 Wherefore [G1223] [G5124] , behold [G2400] , I [G1473] send [G649] unto [G4314] you [G5209] prophets [G4396] , and [G2532] wise men [G4680] , and [G2532] scribes [G1122] : and [G2532] [some] of [G1537] them [G846] ye shall kill [G615] and [G2532] crucify [G4717] ; and [G2532] [some] of [G1537] them [G846] shall ye scourge [G3146] in [G1722] your [G5216] synagogues [G4864] , and [G2532] persecute [G1377] [them] from [G575] city [G4172] to [G1519] city [G4172] :

23:35 That [G3704] upon [G1909] you [G5209] may come [G2064] all [G3956] the righteous [G1342] blood [G129] shed [G1632] upon [G1909] the earth [G1093] , from [G575] the blood [G129] of righteous [G1342] Abel [G6] unto [G2193] the blood [G129] of Zacharias [G2197] son [G5207] of Barachias [G914] , whom [G3739] ye slew [G5407] between [G3342] the temple [G3485] and [G2532] the altar [G2379] .

23:36 Verily [G281] I say [G3004] unto you [G5213] , All [G3956] these things [G5023] shall come [G2240] upon [G1909] this [G5026] generation [G1074] .

23:37 O Jerusalem [G2419] , Jerusalem [G2419] , [thou] that killest [G615] the prophets [G4396] , and [G2532] stonest [G3036] them which are sent [G649] unto [G4314] thee [G846] , how often [G4212] would I [G2309] have gathered [G1996] thy [G4675] [G3739] children [G5043] together [G1996] , even as [G5158] a hen [G3733] gathereth [G1996] her [G1438] chickens [G3556] under [G5259] [her] wings [G4420] , and [G2532] ye would [G2309] not [G3756] !

23:38 Behold [G2400] , your [G5216] house [G3624] is left [G863] unto you [G5213] desolate [G2048] .

23:39 For [G1063] I say [G3004] unto you [G5213] , Ye shall [G1492] not [G3364] see [G1492] me [G3165] henceforth [G575] [G737] , till [G2193] [G302] ye shall say [G2036] , Blessed [G2127] [is] he that cometh [G2064] in [G1722] the name [G3686] of the Lord [G2962] .
