2
Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
3
All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not. For they say, and do not.
4
For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders: but with a finger of their own they will not move them
5
And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad and enlarge their fringes.
6
And they love the first places at feasts and the first chairs in the synagogues,
7
And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
8
But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master: and all you are brethren.
9
And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.
10
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, Christ.
11
He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.
12
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
