Then{G5119} spake{G2980}{(G5656)} Jesus{G2424} to the multitude{G3793}, and{G2532} to his{G846} disciples{G3101},

Saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, The scribes{G1122} and{G2532} the Pharisees{G5330} sit{G2523}{(G5656)} in{G1909} Moses{G3475}' seat{G2515}:

All{G3956} therefore{G3767} whatsoever{G302}{G3745} they bid{G2036}{(G5632)} you{G5213} observe{G5083}{(G5721)}, that observe{G5083}{(G5720)} and{G2532} do{G4160}{(G5720)}; but{G1161} do{G4160}{(G5720)} not{G3361} ye after{G2596} their{G846} works{G2041}: for{G1063} they say{G3004}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} do{G4160}{(G5719)} not{G3756}.

For{G1063} they bind{G1195}{(G5719)} heavy{G926} burdens{G5413} and{G2532} grievous to be borne{G1419}, and{G2532} lay{G2007}{(G5719)} them on{G1909} men's{G444} shoulders{G5606}; but{G1161} they themselves will{G2309}{(G5719)} not{G3756} move{G2795}{(G5658)} them{G846} with one of their{G846} fingers{G1147}.

But{G1161} all{G3956} their{G846} works{G2041} they do{G4160}{(G5719)} for{G4314} to be seen{G2300}{(G5683)} of men{G444}:{G1161} they make broad{G4115}{(G5719)} their{G846} phylacteries{G5440}, and{G2532} enlarge{G3170}{(G5719)} the borders{G2899} of their{G846} garments{G2440},

And{G5037} love{G5368}{(G5719)} the uppermost rooms{G4411} at{G1722} feasts{G1173}, and{G2532} the chief seats{G4410} in{G1722} the synagogues{G4864},

And{G2532} greetings{G783} in{G1722} the markets{G58}, and{G2532} to be called{G2564}{(G5745)} of{G5259} men{G444}, Rabbi{G4461}, Rabbi{G4461}.

But{G1161} be{G2564} not{G3361} ye{G5210} called{G2564}{(G5686)} Rabbi{G4461}: for{G1063} one{G1520} is{G2076}{(G5748)} your{G5216} Master{G2519}, even Christ{G5547}; and{G1161} all{G3956} ye{G5210} are{G2075}{(G5748)} brethren{G80}.

And{G2532} call{G2564}{(G5661)} no{G3361} man your{G5216} father{G3962} upon{G1909} the earth{G1093}: for{G1063} one{G1520} is{G2076}{(G5748)} your{G5216} Father{G3962}, which{G3588} is in{G1722} heaven{G3772}.

Neither{G3366} be ye called{G2564}{(G5686)} masters{G2519}: for{G1063} one{G1520} is{G2076}{(G5748)} your{G5216} Master{G2519}, even Christ{G5547}.

But{G1161} he that is greatest{G3187} among you{G5216} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} your{G5216} servant{G1249}.

And{G1161} whosoever{G3748} shall exalt{G5312}{(G5692)} himself{G1438} shall be abased{G5013}{(G5701)}; and{G2532} he{G3748} that shall humble{G5013}{(G5692)} himself{G1438} shall be exalted{G5312}{(G5701)}.

But{G1161} woe{G3759} unto you{G5213}, scribes{G1122} and{G2532} Pharisees{G5330}, hypocrites{G5273}! for{G3754} ye shut up{G2808}{(G5719)} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} against{G1715} men{G444}: for{G1063} ye{G5210} neither{G3761} go in{G1525}{(G5736)} yourselves, neither{G3756} suffer ye{G863}{(G5719)} them that are entering{G1525}{(G5740)} to go in{G1525}{(G5629)}.

Woe{G3759} unto you{G5213}, scribes{G1122} and{G2532} Pharisees{G5330}, hypocrites{G5273}! for{G3754} ye devour{G2719}{(G5719)} widows{G5503}' houses{G3614}, and{G2532} for a pretence{G4392} make{G4336} long{G3117} prayer{G4336}{(G5740)}: therefore{G1223}{G5124} ye shall receive{G2983}{(G5695)} the greater{G4055} damnation{G2917}.

Woe{G3759} unto you{G5213}, scribes{G1122} and{G2532} Pharisees{G5330}, hypocrites{G5273}! for{G3754} ye compass{G4013}{(G5719)} sea{G2281} and{G2532} land{G3584} to make{G4160}{(G5658)} one{G1520} proselyte{G4339}, and{G2532} when{G3752} he is made{G1096}{(G5638)}, ye make{G4160}{(G5719)} him{G846} twofold more{G1362} the child{G5207} of hell{G1067} than yourselves{G5216}.

Woe{G3759} unto you{G5213}, ye blind{G5185} guides{G3595}, which{G3588} say{G3004}{(G5723)}, Whosoever{G3739}{G302} shall swear{G3660}{(G5661)} by{G1722} the temple{G3485}, it is{G2076}{(G5748)} nothing{G3762}; but{G1161} whosoever{G3739}{G302} shall swear{G3660}{(G5661)} by{G1722} the gold{G5557} of the temple{G3485}, he is a debtor{G3784}{(G5719)}!

Ye fools{G3474} and{G2532} blind{G5185}: for{G1063} whether{G5101} is{G2076}{(G5748)} greater{G3187}, the gold{G5557}, or{G2228} the temple{G3485} that sanctifieth{G37}{(G5723)} the gold{G5557}?

And{G2532}, Whosoever{G3739}{G1437} shall swear{G3660}{(G5661)} by{G1722} the altar{G2379}, it is{G2076}{(G5748)} nothing{G3762}; but{G1161} whosoever{G3739}{G302} sweareth{G3660}{(G5661)} by{G1722} the gift{G1435} that is upon{G1883} it{G846}, he is guilty{G3784}{(G5719)}.

Ye fools{G3474} and{G2532} blind{G5185}: for{G1063} whether{G5101} is greater{G3187}, the gift{G1435}, or{G2228} the altar{G2379} that sanctifieth{G37}{(G5723)} the gift{G1435}?

Whoso therefore{G3767} shall swear{G3660}{(G5660)} by{G1722} the altar{G2379}, sweareth{G3660}{(G5719)} by{G1722} it{G846}, and{G2532} by{G1722} all things{G3956} thereon{G1883}{G846}.

And{G2532} whoso shall swear{G3660}{(G5660)} by{G1722} the temple{G3485}, sweareth{G3660}{(G5719)} by{G1722} it{G846}, and{G2532} by{G1722} him that dwelleth{G2730}{(G5723)} therein{G846}.

And{G2532} he that shall swear{G3660}{(G5660)} by{G1722} heaven{G3772}, sweareth{G3660}{(G5719)} by{G1722} the throne{G2362} of God{G2316}, and{G2532} by{G1722} him that sitteth{G2521}{(G5740)} thereon{G1883}{G846}.

Woe{G3759} unto you{G5213}, scribes{G1122} and{G2532} Pharisees{G5330}, hypocrites{G5273}! for{G3754} ye pay tithe{G586}{(G5719)} of mint{G2238} and{G2532} anise{G432} and{G2532} cummin{G2951}, and{G2532} have omitted{G863}{(G5656)} the weightier{G926} matters of the law{G3551}, judgment{G2920},{G2532} mercy{G1656}, and{G2532} faith{G4102}: these{G5023} ought ye{G1163}{(G5713)} to have done{G4160}{(G5658)}, and not{G3361} to leave{G863} the other{G2548} undone{G863}{(G5721)}.

Ye blind{G5185} guides{G3595}, which strain at{G1368}{(G5723)} a gnat{G2971}, and{G1161} swallow{G2666}{(G5723)} a camel{G2574}.

Woe{G3759} unto you{G5213}, scribes{G1122} and{G2532} Pharisees{G5330}, hypocrites{G5273}! for{G3754} ye make clean{G2511}{(G5719)} the outside{G1855} of the cup{G4221} and{G2532} of the platter{G3953}, but{G1161} within{G2081} they are full{G1073}{(G5719)} of{G1537} extortion{G724} and{G2532} excess{G192}.

Thou blind{G5185} Pharisee{G5330}, cleanse{G2511}{(G5657)} first{G4412} that which is within{G1787} the cup{G4221} and{G2532} platter{G3953}, that{G2443} the outside{G1622} of them{G846} may be{G1096}{(G5638)} clean{G2513} also{G2532}.

Woe{G3759} unto you{G5213}, scribes{G1122} and{G2532} Pharisees{G5330}, hypocrites{G5273}! for{G3754} ye are like{G3945}{(G5719)} unto whited{G2867}{(G5772)} sepulchres{G5028}, which{G3748} indeed{G3303} appear{G5316}{(G5727)} beautiful{G5611} outward{G1855}, but{G1161} are within{G2081} full{G1073}{(G5719)} of dead{G3498} men's bones{G3747}, and{G2532} of all{G3956} uncleanness{G167}.

Even so{G3779} ye{G5210} also{G2532}{G3303} outwardly{G1855} appear{G5316}{(G5743)} righteous{G1342} unto men{G444}, but{G1161} within{G2081} ye are{G2075}{(G5748)} full{G3324} of hypocrisy{G5272} and{G2532} iniquity{G458}.

Woe{G3759} unto you{G5213}, scribes{G1122} and{G2532} Pharisees{G5330}, hypocrites{G5273}! because{G3754} ye build{G3618}{(G5719)} the tombs{G5028} of the prophets{G4396}, and{G2532} garnish{G2885}{(G5719)} the sepulchres{G3419} of the righteous{G1342},

And{G2532} say{G3004}{(G5719)}, If{G1487} we had been{G2258}{(G5713)} in{G1722} the days{G2250} of our{G2257} fathers{G3962}, we would{G302} not{G3756} have been{G2258}{(G5713)} partakers{G2844} with them{G846} in{G1722} the blood{G129} of the prophets{G4396}.

Wherefore{G5620} ye be witnesses{G3140}{(G5719)} unto yourselves{G1438}, that{G3754} ye are{G2075}{(G5748)} the children{G5207} of them which killed{G5407}{(G5660)} the prophets{G4396}.

Fill{G4137} ye{G5210} up{G4137}{(G5657)} then{G2532} the measure{G3358} of your{G5216} fathers{G3962}.

Ye serpents{G3789}, ye generation{G1081} of vipers{G2191}, how{G4459} can ye{G5343}{(G5632)} escape{G575} the damnation{G2920} of hell{G1067}?

Wherefore{G1223}{G5124}, behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, I{G1473} send{G649}{(G5719)} unto{G4314} you{G5209} prophets{G4396}, and{G2532} wise men{G4680}, and{G2532} scribes{G1122}: and{G2532} some of{G1537} them{G846} ye shall kill{G615}{(G5692)} and{G2532} crucify{G4717}{(G5692)}; and{G2532} some of{G1537} them{G846} shall ye scourge{G3146}{(G5692)} in{G1722} your{G5216} synagogues{G4864}, and{G2532} persecute{G1377}{(G5692)} them from{G575} city{G4172} to{G1519} city{G4172}:

That{G3704} upon{G1909} you{G5209} may come{G2064}{(G5632)} all{G3956} the righteous{G1342} blood{G129} shed{G1632}{(G5746)} upon{G1909} the earth{G1093}, from{G575} the blood{G129} of righteous{G1342} Abel{G6} unto{G2193} the blood{G129} of Zacharias{G2197} son{G5207} of Barachias{G914}, whom{G3739} ye slew{G5407}{(G5656)} between{G3342} the temple{G3485} and{G2532} the altar{G2379}.

Verily{G281} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, All{G3956} these things{G5023} shall come{G2240}{(G5692)} upon{G1909} this{G5026} generation{G1074}.

O Jerusalem{G2419}, Jerusalem{G2419}, thou that killest{G615}{(G5723)} the prophets{G4396}, and{G2532} stonest{G3036}{(G5723)} them which are sent{G649}{(G5772)} unto{G4314} thee{G846}, how often{G4212} would I{G2309}{(G5656)} have gathered{G1996} thy{G4675}{G3739} children{G5043} together{G1996}{(G5629)}, even as{G5158} a hen{G3733} gathereth{G1996}{(G5719)} her{G1438} chickens{G3556} under{G5259} her wings{G4420}, and{G2532} ye would{G2309}{(G5656)} not{G3756}!

Behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, your{G5216} house{G3624} is left{G863}{(G5743)} unto you{G5213} desolate{G2048}.

For{G1063} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, Ye shall{G1492} not{G3364} see{G1492}{(G5632)} me{G3165} henceforth{G575}{G737}, till{G2193}{G302} ye shall say{G2036}{(G5632)}, Blessed{G2127}{(G5772)} is he that cometh{G2064}{(G5740)} in{G1722} the name{G3686} of the Lord{G2962}.
