Matthew 23:1-4

Pharisaism Exposed

1 ¹Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,

2 saying: "²The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;

3 therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.

4 "³They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling * to move them with so much as a finger.#rl
