022:045 "If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?"
022:046 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare
ask him any more questions from that day forth.
023:001 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
023:002 saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses' seat.
023:003 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe,
observe and do, but don't do their works; for they say,
and don't do.
023:004 For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne,
and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will
not lift a finger to help them.
023:005 But all their works they do to be seen by men.
They make their phylacteries{phylacteries (tefillin in Hebrew)
are small leather pouches that some Jewish men wear on their
forehead and arm in prayer. They are used to carry a small
scroll with some Scripture in it. See Deuteronomy 6:8.} broad,
enlarge the fringes{or, tassels} of their garments,
023:006 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats
in the synagogues,
023:007 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called
'Rabbi, Rabbi' by men.
023:008 But don't you be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your teacher,
the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
023:009 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father,
he who is in heaven.
023:010 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
023:011 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
023:012 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles
himself will be exalted.
023:013 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
devour widows' houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers.
Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
023:014 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men;
for you don't enter in yourselves, neither do you allow
those who are entering in to enter.{Some Greek manuscripts
reverse the order of verses 13 and 14, and some omit verse 13,
numbering verse 14 as 13.}
023:015 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte;
and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son
of Gehenna{or, Hell} as yourselves.
023:016 "Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple,
it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple,
he is obligated.'
023:017 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple
that sanctifies the gold?
023:018 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears
by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
023:019 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar
that sanctifies the gift?
