Matthew 23:1-7

MLV(i) 1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit upon the seat of Moses. 3 Therefore, as many things as they may say for you to keep, keep and do, but do not do them according to their works; for they say and are not doing. 4 For they bind burdensome and unbearable loads, and place them upon men’s shoulders, but they are not willing to move them even with their finger. 5 And they are practicing all their works to be seen by men. And they widen their phylacteries and magnify the hems of their garments, 6 and they love the foremost-place in the suppers and the foremost seats in the synagogues, 7 and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
