Matthew 23:2-7

2sayingG3004: “1The scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 have seatedG2523 themselvesG2523 in the chairG2515 of MosesG3475;

3thereforeG3767 allG3956 that they tellG3004 you, doG4160 and observeG5083, but do not doG4160 accordingG2596 to their deedsG2041; for they sayG3004 things and do not doG4160 them.

4 2They tieG1195 up heavyG926 burdensG5413 and layG2007 them on men’sG444 shouldersG5606, but they themselvesG846 are unwillingG3756 G2309 to moveG2795 them with so much as a fingerG1147.

5But they doG4160 allG3956 their deedsG2041 3to be noticedG2300 by menG444; for they 4broadenG4115 their 5phylacteriesG5440 and lengthenG3170 6the tasselsG2899 of their garments.

6They 7loveG5368 the placeG4411 of honorG4411 at banquetsG1173 and the chiefG4410 seatsG4410 in the synagoguesG4864,

7and respectful greetingsG783 in the marketG58 placesG58, and being calledG2564 8RabbiG4461 by menG444.
