Jesus Condemns the Leaders' Hypocrisy
Matthew 23:1-12
1
Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2
Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
3
All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.
4
For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers.
5
All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments,
6
And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,
7
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8
But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
9
And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.
10
Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.
11
But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.
12
For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.
