Verse Numbers
1
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
2
"The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat;
3
therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach.
4
They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them
5
They do all their deeds to be seen by others; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long.
6
They love to have the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues,
7
and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have people call them rabbi.
8
But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all students.
