Verse........................

     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 upper most 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 many 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.
