23:1 Then
spake
Iesus
to
the
multitude,
and
to
his
disciples,
23:2 Saying,
The
Scribes
and
the
Pharises
sit
in
Moses
seate:
23:3 All
therefore
whatsoeuer
they
bid
you
obserue,
that
obserue
and
doe,
but
doe
not
ye
after
their
workes:
for
they
say,
and
doe
not.
23:4 For
they
binde
heauie
burdens,
and
grieuous
to
be
borne,
and
lay
them
on
mens
shoulders,
but
they
themselues
will
not
mooue
them
with
one
of
their
fingers.
23:5 But
all
their
workes
they
doe,
for
to
be
seene
of
men:
they
make
broad
their
phylacteries,
and
enlarge
the
borders
of
their
garments,
23:6 And
loue
the
vppermost
roomes
at
feasts,
and
the
chiefe
seats
in
the
Synagogues,
23:7 And
greetings
in
the
markets,
and
to
be
called
of
men,
Rabbi,
Rabbi.
23:8 But
be
not
ye
called
Rabbi:
for
one
is
your
Master,
euen
Christ,
and
all
ye
are
brethren.
23:9 And
call
no
man
your
father
vpon
the
earth:
for
one
is
your
father
which
is
in
heauen.
23:10 Neither
be
ye
called
masters:
for
one
is
your
Master,
euen
Christ.
23:11 But
hee
that
is
greatest
among
you,
shall
be
your
seruant.
23:12 And
whosoeuer
shall
exalt
himselfe,
shall
be
abased:
and
he
that
shall
humble
himselfe,
shall
be
exalted.
23:13 But
woe
vnto
you,
Scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites;
for
yee
shut
vp
the
kingdom
of
heauen
against
men:
For
yee
neither
goe
in
your
selues,
neither
suffer
ye
them
that
are
entring,
to
goe
in.
23:14 Woe
vnto
you
Scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites;
for
yee
deuoure
widowes
houses,
and
for
a
pretence
make
long
prayer;
therefore
ye
shall
receiue
the
greater
damnation.
23:15 Woe
vnto
you
Scribes
and
Pharises,
hypocrites;
for
yee
compasse
Sea
and
land
to
make
one
Proselyte,
and
when
hee
is
made,
yee
make
him
two
fold
more
the
childe
of
hell
then
your
selues.
23:16 Woe
vnto
you,
yee
blind
guides,
which
say,
Whosoeuer
shall
sweare
by
the
Temple,
it
is
nothing:
but
whosoeuer
shal
sweare
by
the
gold
of
the
Temple,
he
is
a
debter.
23:17 Ye
fooles
and
blind:
for
whether
is
greater,
the
gold,
or
the
Temple
that
sanctifieth
the
gold
23:18 And
whosoeuer
shall
sweare
by
the
Altar,
it
is
nothing:
but
whosoeuer
sweareth
by
the
gift
that
is
vpon
it,
he
is
guiltie.
23:19 Ye
fooles
and
blind:
for
whether
is
greater,
the
gift,
or
the
Altar
that
sanctifieth
the
gift
23:20 Who
so
therefore
shall
sweare
by
the
Altar,
sweareth
by
it,
and
by
all
things
thereon.
23:21 And
who
so
shall
sweare
by
the
Temple,
sweareth
by
it,
and
by
him
that
dwelleth
therein.
23:22 And
he
that
shall
sweare
by
heauen,
sweareth
by
the
throne
of
God,
and
by
him
that
sitteth
thereon.
23:23 Woe
vnto
you
Scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites;
for
yee
pay
tithe
of
mint,
and
annise,
and
cummine,
and
haue
omitted
the
weightier
matters
of
the
Law,
iudgement,
mercie
and
faith:
these
ought
ye
to
haue
done,
and
not
to
leaue
the
other
vndone.
23:24 Ye
blind
guides,
which
straine
at
a
gnat,
and
swallow
a
camel.
23:25 Woe
vnto
you
Scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites;
for
yee
make
cleane
the
outside
of
the
cup,
and
of
the
platter,
but
within
they
are
full
of
extortion
and
excesse.
23:26 Thou
blind
Pharisee,
cleanse
first
that
which
is
within
the
cup
and
platter,
that
the
outside
of
them
may
bee
cleane
also.
23:27 Woe
vnto
you
Scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites,
for
yee
are
like
vnto
whited
sepulchres,
which
indeed
appeare
beautifull
outward,
but
are
within
full
of
dead
mens
bones,
and
of
all
vncleannesse.
23:28 Euen
so,
yee
also
outwardly
appeare
righteous
vnto
men,
but
within
ye
are
full
of
hypocrisie
and
iniquitie.
23:29 Woe
vnto
you
Scribes
and
Pharisees,
hypocrites,
because
ye
build
the
tombes
of
the
Prophets,
and
garnish
the
sepulchres
of
the
righteous,
23:30 And
say,
If
wee
had
beene
in
the
dayes
of
our
fathers,
wee
would
not
haue
bene
partakers
with
them
in
the
blood
of
the
Prophets.
23:31 Wherefore
ye
bee
witnesses
vnto
your
selues,
that
yee
are
the
children
of
them
which
killed
the
Prophets.
23:32 Fil
ye
vp
then
the
measure
of
your
fathers.
23:33 Yee
serpents,
yee
generation
of
vipers,
How
can
yee
escape
the
damnation
of
hell
23:34 Wherefore
behold,
I
send
vnto
you
Prophets,
and
wisemen,
and
Scribes,
and
some
of
them
yee
shall
kill
and
crucifie,
and
some
of
them
shall
yee
scourge
in
your
synagogues,
and
persecute
them
from
citie
to
citie:
23:35 That
vpon
you
may
come
all
the
righteous
blood
shed
vpon
the
earth,
from
the
blood
of
righteous
Abel,
vnto
the
blood
of
Zacharias,
sonne
of
Barachias,
whom
yee
slew
betweene
the
temple
and
the
altar.
23:36 Uerily
I
say
vnto
you,
All
these
things
shal
come
vpon
this
generation.
23:37 O
Hierusalem,
Hierusalem,
thou
that
killest
the
Prophets,
and
stonest
them
which
are
sent
vnto
thee,
how
often
would
I
haue
gathered
thy
children
together,
euen
as
a
hen
gathereth
her
chickens
vnder
her
wings,
and
yee
would
not
23:38 Behold,
your
house
is
left
vnto
you
desolate.
23:39 For
I
say
vnto
you,
yee
shall
not
see
me
henceforth,
till
ye
shall
say,
Blessed
is
he
that
commeth
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord.
