1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,
1
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
2 saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;
2
“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
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.
3
So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
4 "They 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
4
They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 "But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.
5
“Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacterieswide and the tassels on their garments long;
6 "They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,
6
they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
7 and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.
7
they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
