^{1 Ref} Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples:

^{2 Ref} The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;

^{3 Ref} All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.

^{4 Ref} They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them.

^{5 Ref} But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,

^{6 Ref} And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,

^{7 Ref} And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.
