Matthew 23:1-7

1 Then Yeshua addressed the crowds and his talmidim:
2 "The Torah-teachers and the P'rushim," he said, "sit in the seat of Moshe.
3 So whatever they tell you, take care to do it. But don't do what they do, because they talk but don't act!
4 They tie heavy loads onto people's shoulders but won't lift a finger to help carry them
5 Everything they do is done to be seen by others; for they make their t'fillin broad and their tzitziyot long,
6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues,
7 and they love being greeted deferentially in the marketplaces and being called `Rabbi.'
