Matthew 23:1-12

1ThenG2532 spake JesusG2424 toG2532 theG3588 multitudesG3793 andG2532 toG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101,

2sayingG3004, TheG3588 scribesG1122 andG2532 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 sitG2523 onG1909 Moses’ seatG2523:

3allG3956 thingsG3956 thereforeG3767 whatsoever theyG846 bid youG5210, theseG3588 doG4160 andG2532 observeG5083: butG1161 doG4160 notG3756 ye afterG2596 theirG846 worksG2041; forG1063 theyG846 sayG3004, andG2532 doG4160 notG3756.

4Yea, theyG846 bind heavyG926 burdensG5413 andG2532 grievous toG2309 beG2532 borne, andG2532 layG2007 themG846 onG1909 men’sG444 shouldersG5606; butG1161 theyG846 themselvesG846 willG444 notG3756 moveG2795 themG846 withG1909 theirG846 fingerG1147.

5ButG1161 allG3956 theirG846 worksG2041 theyG846 doG4160 forG1063 toG4314 beG2532 seenG2300 ofG2041 menG444: forG1063 theyG846 makeG4160 broad theirG846 phylacteriesG5440, andG2532 enlarge theG3956 borders ofG2041 theirG846 garments,

6andG2532 loveG5368 theG3588 chiefG4410 placeG4411 at feasts, andG2532 theG3588 chiefG4410 seatsG4410 inG1722 theG3588 synagoguesG4864,

7andG2532 theG3588 salutations inG1722 theG3588 marketplaces, andG2532 toG2532 beG2532 calledG2564 ofG1722 menG444, RabbiG4461.

8ButG1161 beG1510 notG3361 ye calledG2564 RabbiG4461: forG1063 oneG1520 isG1510 yourG3956 teacherG1320, andG1161 allG3956 ye areG1510 brethrenG80.

9AndG2532 callG2564 noG3361 manG1520 yourG2532 fatherG3962 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093: forG1063 oneG1520 isG1510 yourG2532 FatherG3962, whichG3588 isG1510 inG1909 heavenG3770.

10NeitherG3366 beG1510 ye calledG2564 masters: forG3754 oneG1520 isG1510 yourG3366 master, evenG3366 theG3588 ChristG5547.

11ButG1161 heG1161 thatG1161 isG1510 greatestG3173 among youG5210 shall beG1510 yourG3588 servantG1249.

12AndG2532 whosoever shallG2532 exaltG5312 himselfG1438 shallG2532 beG2532 humbledG5013; andG2532 whosoever shallG2532 humbleG5013 himselfG1438 shallG2532 beG2532 exaltedG5312.
