[1] Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, [2] Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: [3] All therefore they bid observe, and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. [4] they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them fingers. [5] But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their [6] love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, [7] And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, [8] But not called Rabbi: for one and all brethren. [9] And call no father upon the earth: for one Father, which [10] Neither be ye called masters: one Master, even Christ. [11] But servant. [12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. [13] But woe scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering [14] Woe scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence long prayer: therefore ye shall receive damnation. [15] Woe scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell [16] Woe ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! [17] Ye fools and blind: for whether the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? [18] And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. [19] blind: for whether the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? [20] Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. [21] And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. [22] And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. [23] Woe scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: ought ye to have done, and not the other undone. [24] Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. [25] Woe scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. [26] Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. [27] Woe scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. [28] Even so also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within full of hypocrisy and iniquity. [29] Woe scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, [30] And say, If in the days fathers, we would not partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. [31] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that the children of them which killed the prophets. [32] up then the measure fathers. [33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? [34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: [35] That upon may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. [36] Verily I say All shall come upon generation.
