========================
Matthew 23:1-12
========================
1Then Jesus said to the
crowds and to his disciples:
2“The teachers of the law and
the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3So you must be careful to do
everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice
what they preach.
4They tie up heavy,
cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves
are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5“Everything they do is done
for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their
garments long;
6they love the place of honor
at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
7they love to be greeted with
respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
8“But you are not to be
called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9And do not call anyone on
earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
10Nor are you to be called
instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah.
11The greatest among you will
be your servant.
12For those who exalt
themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
