^{4 Ref} Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.

^{5 Ref} But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders `of their garments',

^{6 Ref} and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

^{7 Ref} and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.

^{8 Ref} But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.

^{9 Ref} And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, `even' he who is in heaven.

¹⁰ Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, `even' the Christ.

^{11 Ref} But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

^{12 Ref} And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

^{13 Ref} But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.

¹⁴ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, even while for a pretence ye make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.

^{15 Ref} Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.

^{16 Ref} Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.

^{17 Ref} Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?

¹⁸ And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.

^{19 Ref} Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

²⁰ He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.

^{21 Ref} And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

^{22 Ref} And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

^{23 Ref} Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.

^{26 Ref} Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.

^{27 Ref} Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

^{28 Ref} Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
