1: Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2: Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

3: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

4: 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.

5: But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6: And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

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

8: But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9: And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10: Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

11: But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
