New King James Version

Matthew 23:2-7

2saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.

3Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.

4For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

5But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.

6They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

7greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’
