1 Then spake Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples,

2 Saying, Upon Moses' seat sat the scribes and Pharisees.

3 Therefore all whatever they say to you to keep, keep and do; and according to their works do not, for they say and do not.

4 For they bind loads heavy and difficult to carry, and put upon men's shoulders; and with their fingers will they not move them.

5 And all their works do they, to be seen by men: and make broad their preservatives, and enlarge the border of their garments.

6 And love the first place at suppers, and the first seat in the assemblies,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
