Matthew 23:5-7

5The Pharisees do things only so that people will see them. They wear little boxes with words from the Bible in them, but they make them really big. They also make the tassels on their clothes very long.

6They like to sit in the important places at special meals. They also choose to sit in the best seats in the meeting places.

7They like people to praise them in the market place. They want people to call them “Teacher.”
