Matthew 23

¹Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

²Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.

³All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.

⁴For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers.

⁵All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments,

⁶And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,

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

⁸But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.

⁹And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.

¹⁰Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.

¹¹But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.

¹²For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.

¹³Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in.
