1
Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples:
2
The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;
3
All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.
4
They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them
5
But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,
6
And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,
7
And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.
8
But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.
9
And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.
10
And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.
