Pharisaism Exposed

|Mateus 23:1| Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,

|Mateus 23:2| saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;

|Mateus 23:3| therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.

|Mateus 23:4| They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger.

|Mateus 23:5| But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.

|Mateus 23:6| They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,

|Mateus 23:7| and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.

|Mateus 23:8| But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

|Mateus 23:9| Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

|Mateus 23:10| Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.
