GSNT MAT 23:1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
GSNT MAT 23:2 "The scribes and Pharisees have taken Moses' seat.
GSNT MAT 23:3 So do everything they tell you, and observe it all, but do not do as they do, for they talk but do not act.
GSNT MAT 23:4 They tie up heavy loads and have them put on men's shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them.
GSNT MAT 23:5 They do everything they do to have men see it. They wear wide Scripture texts as charms, and they wear large tassels,
GSNT MAT 23:6 and they like the best places at dinners and the front seats in the synagogues,
GSNT MAT 23:7 and to be saluted with respect in public places, and to have men call them 'Rabbi.'
GSNT MAT 23:8 But you must not let people call you 'Rabbi,' for you have only one teacher, and you are all brothers.
GSNT MAT 23:9 And you must not call anyone on earth your father, for you have only one father, your heavenly Father.
GSNT MAT 23:10 And you must not let men call you master, for you have only one master, the Christ.
GSNT MAT 23:11 But he who is greatest among you must be your servant.
GSNT MAT 23:12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
GSNT MAT 23:13 "But alas for you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you lock the doors of the Kingdom of Heaven in men's faces, for you will neither go in yourselves nor let those enter who are trying to do so.
GSNT MAT 23:14 ...
GSNT MAT 23:15 Alas for you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you scour land and sea to make one convert, and when he is converted you make him twice as fit for the pit as you are.
GSNT MAT 23:16 Alas for you, you blind guides, who say, 'If anyone swears by the sanctuary, it does not matter, but if anyone swears by the gold of the sanctuary, it is binding.'
GSNT MAT 23:17 Blind fools! which is greater, the gold, or the sanctuary that makes the gold sacred?
GSNT MAT 23:18 You say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it does not matter, but if anyone swears by the offering that is on it, it is binding.'
GSNT MAT 23:19 You blind men! Which is greater, the offering, or the altar that makes the offering sacred?
GSNT MAT 23:20 Anyone who swears by the altar is swearing by it and by everything that is on it,
GSNT MAT 23:21 and anyone who swears by the sanctuary is swearing by it and by him who dwells in it;
GSNT MAT 23:22 and anyone who swears by heaven is swearing by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.
GSNT MAT 23:23 "Alas for you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you pay tithes on mint, dill, and cummin, and you have let the weightier matters of the Law go—justice, mercy, and integrity. But you should have observed these, without overlooking the others.
GSNT MAT 23:24 You blind guides! straining out the gnat, and yet swallowing the camel!
GSNT MAT 23:25 Alas for you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
GSNT MAT 23:26 You blind Pharisee! You must first clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside may be clean too.
GSNT MAT 23:27 Alas for you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you are like white-washed tombs! They look well on the outside, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead, and all that is unclean.
GSNT MAT 23:28 So you outwardly appear to men to be upright, but within you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
GSNT MAT 23:29 "Alas for you, you hypocritical scribes and Pharisees, for you build tombs for the prophets, and decorate the monuments of the upright,
GSNT MAT 23:30 and say, 'If we had been living in the times of our fathers, we would not have joined them in the murder of the prophets.'
GSNT MAT 23:31 So you bear witness against yourselves that you are descended from the murderers of the prophets.
GSNT MAT 23:32 Go on and fill up the measure of your forefathers' guilt.
GSNT MAT 23:33 You serpents! You brood of snakes! How can you escape being sentenced to the pit?
GSNT MAT 23:34 This is why I am going to send you prophets, wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and hunt from one town to another;
GSNT MAT 23:35 it is that on your heads may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of Abel the upright to the blood of Zechariah, Barachiah's son, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar!
GSNT MAT 23:36 I tell you, all this will come upon this age!
GSNT MAT 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! murdering the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children around me, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you refused!
GSNT MAT 23:38 Now I leave you to yourselves.
GSNT MAT 23:39 For I tell you, you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed be he who comes in the Lord's name!' "
