40_MAT_23_01 Then spake Jesus to the multitude , And to his disciples ,
40_MAT_23_02 saying , the scribes And the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat :
40_MAT_23_03 all therefore whatsoever they Bid you observe , [ that ] observe And do ; but do not ye after their works : for they say , And do not .
40_MAT_23_04 for they bind heavy burdens And grievous to be borne , And lay [ them ] on men's shoulders ; but they [ themselves ] will not move them with one of their fingers .
40_MAT_23_05 but all their works they do for to be seen of men : they make broad their phylacteries , And enlarge the borders of their garments ,
40_MAT_23_06 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts , And the chief seats in the synagogues ,
40_MAT_23_07 And greetings in the markets , And to be called of men , Rabbi , Rabbi .
40_MAT_23_08 but be not ye called Rabbi : for one Is your master , [ even ] Christ ; And all ye are brethren .
40_MAT_23_09 And call no [ man ] your Father upon the earth : for one Is your Father , which Is in heaven .
40_MAT_23_10 neither be ye called masters : for one Is your master , [ even ] Christ .
40_MAT_23_11 but he that Is greatest among you shall be your servant .
40_MAT_23_12 And whosoever shall Exalt himself shall be abased ; And he that shall humble himself shall be exalted .
40_MAT_23_13 but woe unto you , scribes And Pharisees , hypocrites ! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men : for ye neither go in [ yourselves ] , neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in .
40_MAT_23_14 woe unto you , scribes And Pharisees , hypocrites ! for ye devour widows' houses , And for A pretence make long prayer : therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation .
40_MAT_23_15 woe unto you , scribes And Pharisees , hypocrites ! for ye compass sea And land to make one proselyte , And when he Is made , ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves .
40_MAT_23_16 woe unto you , [ ye ] blind guides , which say , whosoever shall swear by the temple , it Is nothing ; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple , he Is A debtor !
40_MAT_23_17 [ ye ] fools And blind : for whether Is greater , the gold , or the temple that sanctifieth the gold ?
40_MAT_23_18 And , whosoever shall swear by the altar , it Is nothing ; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that Is upon it , he Is guilty .
40_MAT_23_19 [ ye ] fools And blind : for whether [ Is ] greater , the gift , or the altar that sanctifieth the gift ?
40_MAT_23_20 whoso therefore shall swear by the altar , sweareth by it , And by all things thereon .
40_MAT_23_21 And whoso shall swear by the temple , sweareth by it , And by him that dwelleth therein .
40_MAT_23_22 And he that shall swear by heaven , sweareth by the throne of God , And by him that sitteth thereon .
40_MAT_23_23 woe unto you , scribes And Pharisees , hypocrites ! for ye pay tithe of mint And anise And cummin , And have omitted the weightier [ matters ] of the law , judgment , mercy , And faith : These ought ye to have done , And not to leave the other undone .
40_MAT_23_24 [ ye ] blind guides , which strain at A gnat , And swallow A camel .
40_MAT_23_25 woe unto you , scribes And Pharisees , hypocrites ! for ye make clean the outside of the cup And of the platter , but within they are full of extortion And excess .
40_MAT_23_26 [ thou ] blind Pharisee , cleanse first that [ which Is ] within the cup And platter , that the outside of them may be clean also .
40_MAT_23_27 woe unto you , scribes And Pharisees , hypocrites ! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres , which indeed appear beautiful outward , but are within full of dead [ men's ] bones , And of all uncleanness .
40_MAT_23_28 even So ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men , but within ye are full of hypocrisy And iniquity .
40_MAT_23_29 woe unto you , scribes And Pharisees , hypocrites ! because ye build the tombs of the prophets , And garnish the sepulchres of the righteous ,
40_MAT_23_30 And say , if we had been in the days of our fathers , we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets .
40_MAT_23_31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves , that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets .
40_MAT_23_32 fill ye up Then the measure of your fathers .
40_MAT_23_33 [ ye ] serpents , [ ye ] generation of vipers , how can ye escape the damnation of hell ?
40_MAT_23_34 Wherefore , behold , I send unto you prophets , And wise men , And scribes : And [ some ] of them ye shall kill And Crucify ; And [ some ] of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues , And persecute [ them ] from city to city :
40_MAT_23_35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth , from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias , whom ye slew between the temple And the altar .
40_MAT_23_36 Verily I say unto you , all These things shall come upon this generation .
40_MAT_23_37 O Jerusalem , Jerusalem , [ thou ] that killest the prophets , And stonest them which are sent unto thee , how often would I have gathered thy children together , even as A Hen gathereth her chickens under [ her ] wings , And ye would not !
40_MAT_23_38 behold , your house Is left unto you desolate .
40_MAT_23_39 for I say unto you , ye shall not see me henceforth , till ye shall say , blessed [ Is ] he that cometh in the name of the LORD .
