Matthew 23:2-12

2SayingG3004, The scribesG3588G1122 andG2532 the PhariseesG3588G5330 sitG2523 inG1909 Moses’G3475 seatG2515:

3AllG3956 thereforeG3767 whatsoeverG3745 they bidG3004 youG4771 observeG5083, that observeG5083 andG2532 doG4160; butG1161 doG4160 notG3361 yeG4160 afterG2596 theirG846 worksG3588G2041: forG1063 they sayG3004, andG2532 doG4160 notG3756.

4ForG1063 they bindG1195 heavyG926 burdensG5413 andG2532 grievous to be borneG1419, andG2532 layG2007 them onG1909 men’sG3588G444 shouldersG3588G5606; butG1161 theyG2309 themselves willG2309 notG3756 moveG2795 themG846 with one ofG1147 theirG846 fingersG1147.

5ButG1161 allG3956 theirG846 worksG3588G2041 they doG4160 forG4314 to be seenG2300 of menG3588G444: they make broadG4115 theirG846 phylacteriesG3588G5440, andG2532 enlargeG3170 the bordersG3588G2899 ofG3588G2440 theirG846 garmentsG3588G2440,

6AndG5037 loveG5368 the uppermost roomsG3588G4411 atG1722 feastsG3588G1173, andG2532 the chief seatsG3588G4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864,

7AndG2532 greetingsG3588G783 inG1722 the marketsG3588G58, andG2532 to be calledG2564 ofG5259 menG3588G444, RabbiG4461, RabbiG4461.

8ButG1161 beG2564 notG3361 yeG4771 calledG2564 RabbiG4461: forG1063 oneG1520 isG1510 yourG4771 MasterG3588G2519, even ChristG3588G5547; andG1161 allG3956 yeG4771 areG1510 brethrenG80.

9AndG2532 callG2564 noG3361 man yourG4771 fatherG3962 uponG1909 the earthG3588G1093: forG1063 oneG1520 isG1510 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962, which isG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772.

10NeitherG3366 be ye calledG2564 mastersG2519: forG1063 oneG1520 isG1510 yourG4771 MasterG3588G2519, even ChristG3588G5547.

11ButG1161 he that is greatestG3173 among youG4771 shall beG1510 yourG4771 servantG1249.

12AndG1161 whosoeverG3748 shall exaltG5312 himselfG1438 shall be abasedG5013; andG2532 he thatG3748 shall humbleG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exaltedG5312.
