Mat 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude,
and to his disciples,
Mat 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees
sit in Moses' seat:
Mat 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you
observe, that
observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Mat 23:4 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.
Mat 23:5 But all their works they do for to be
seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders
of their garments,
Mat 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts,
and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Mat 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be
called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is
your Master, even
Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Mat 23:9 And call no
man your
father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one
is your Master, even
Christ.
Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall
be your servant.
Mat 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall
be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Mat 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men:
for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Mat 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long
prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he
is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Mat 23:16 Woe unto you,
ye blind
guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but
whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Mat 23:17
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater,
the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
Mat 23:18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the
altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it,
he is guilty.
Mat 23:19
Ye fools and blind: for whether
is greater,
the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Mat 23:20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the
altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Mat 23:21 And whoso shall swear by the temple,
sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Mat 23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven,
sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have
omitted the weightier matters
of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and
not to leave the other undone.
Mat 23:24
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and
swallow a camel.
Mat 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter,
but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Mat 23:26
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that
which is
within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear
beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
men's bones,
and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear
righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the
sepulchres of the righteous,
Mat 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of
our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of
the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto
yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your
fathers.
Mat 23:33
Ye serpents,
ye generation
of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you
prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and
some of them
ye shall kill and crucify; and
some of them shall ye scourge in your
synagogues, and persecute them
from city to city:
Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the
righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto
the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things
shall come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that
killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often
would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her
wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you
desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed
is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord.

Mar 12:38 And he said unto them in his doctrine,
Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and
love
salutations in the marketplaces,
Mar 12:39 And the chief seats in the synagogues,
and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
Mar 12:40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a
pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
|
Luk 20:45 Then in the audience of all the people
he said unto his disciples,
Luk 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to
walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest
seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
Luk 20:47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a
shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
