King James Version
Then Jesus spoke
to the multitudes
and to his disciples,
Then spake
Jesus to the multitude,
and to his disciples,
saying ,
"
The scribes and the Pharisees sat
on
Moses' seat .
Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit
in
Moses' seat :
All things
therefore whatever
they tell
you to
observe, observe and do ,
but don't
do their works ;
for they say, and don't
do.
All therefore whatsoever
they bid
you observe, that
observe and do ;
but do not
ye
after
their works :
for they say, and do not
.
For they bind heavy burdens that
are
grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift
a
finger
to
help
them.
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
.
But all their works they do to be seen by
men .
They make their phylacteries broad
, enlarge the fringes
of their garments,
But all their works they do for
to be seen of
men :
they make broad
their phylacteries, and
enlarge the borders
of their garments,
and love the place
of
honor
at feasts, the best
seats in the synagogues,
And love the uppermost
rooms
at feasts, and
the chief
seats in the synagogues,
the
salutations
in the marketplaces
, and to be called '
Rabbi, Rabbi '
by
men
.
And
greetings
in the markets
, and to be called of
men,
Rabbi, Rabbi.
But don't
you
be called '
Rabbi ,'
for one is your teacher
, the
Christ ,
and all of
you
are brothers
.
But be not
ye
called Rabbi :
for one is your Master
, even
Christ ;
and all ye
are brethren
.
Call no man on
the
earth
your father ,
for one is your Father, he
who
is in heaven.
And
call no man your father upon
the
earth:
for one is your Father, which
is in heaven.
Neither be called masters ,
for one is your master, the
Christ.
Neither be ye
called masters :
for one is your Master, even
Christ.
But he who
is greatest among you will
be your servant.
But he that
is greatest among you shall
be your servant.
Whoever
exalts
himself will
be humbled,
and whoever
humbles
himself will
be exalted.
And
whosoever
shall
exalt
himself shall
be abased;
and he
that
shall
humble
himself shall
be exalted.

Woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
devour
widows'
houses
, and
as
a
pretense
you
make
long
prayers.
Therefore
you
will
receive
greater
condemnation
.
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
.
"But
woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because
you
shut
up
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men;
for you
don't
enter
in
yourselves
, neither
do
you
allow
those
who
are
entering
in
to
enter
.
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
.
Woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
travel
around
by
sea and land to make one proselyte ;
and when he becomes
one
, you
make him twice
as
much
of
a
son
of Gehenna
as
yourselves.
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.
"
Woe to
you, you
blind guides, who
say, 'Whoever
swears
by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever
swears
by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.'
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!
You
blind
fools !
For which
is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies
the gold?
Ye
fools and
blind:
for whether
is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth
the gold?
'Whoever
swears
by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever
swears
by the gift that is on
it, he is obligated
. '
And,
Whosoever
shall
swear
by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever
sweareth
by the gift that is upon
it, he is guilty
.
You
blind
fools !
For which
is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies
the gift?
Ye
fools and
blind:
for whether
is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth
the gift?
He
therefore who
swears
by the altar, swears
by it, and by everything
on
it
.
Whoso
therefore shall
swear
by the altar, sweareth
by it, and by all
things
thereon
.
He
who
swears
by the temple, swears
by it, and by him who
was
living
in
it
.
And
whoso
shall
swear
by the temple, sweareth
by it, and by him that
dwelleth
therein
.
He who
swears
by heaven, swears
by the throne of God, and by him who
sits
on
it
.
And
he that
shall
swear
by heaven, sweareth
by the throne of God, and by him that
sitteth
thereon
.
"
Woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
tithe mint ,
dill,
and cumin
, and have left
undone
the weightier matters of the law :
justice
, mercy, and faith .
But
you
ought to have done these
, and not to have
left
the other undone.
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.
You
blind guides, who
strain out
a gnat, and swallow a camel !
Ye
blind guides, which
strain at
a gnat, and swallow a camel .
"
Woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness
.
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
.
You
blind Pharisee, first clean
the
inside
of
the cup and of
the
platter, that the outside of it
may become
clean also.
Thou
blind Pharisee, cleanse
first that
which
is
within
the cup and platter, that the outside of them
may be
clean also.
"
Woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
are like whitened
tombs
, which outwardly
appear beautiful, but inwardly
are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
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.
Even so you
also outwardly appear righteous to
men, but inwardly
you
are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Even so ye
also outwardly appear righteous unto
men, but within
ye
are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
"
Woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you
build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate
the tombs
of the righteous,
Woe unto
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because
ye
build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish
the sepulchres
of the righteous,
and say, '
If we had lived
in the days of our fathers, we wouldn't
have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. '
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.
Therefore
you
testify
to
yourselves that you
are children of those
who
killed the prophets.
Wherefore
ye
be
witnesses
unto
yourselves ,
that ye
are the
children of them
which
killed the prophets.
Fill up ,
then ,
the measure of your fathers.
Fill ye
up then the measure of your fathers.
You
serpents, you
offspring
of vipers, how will
you
escape the judgment
of Gehenna
?
Ye
serpents, ye
generation
of vipers, how can
ye
escape the damnation
of hell
?
Therefore
, behold, I send to
you prophets, wise men, and scribes .
Some of them you
will
kill and crucify; and some of them you
will
scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city ;
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 :
that on
you may come all the righteous blood shed on
the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to
the blood of Zachariah
son of Barachiah
, whom you
killed
between the sanctuary
and the altar.
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.
Most
assuredly
I tell
you, all these things will
come upon this generation.
Verily
I say
unto
you, All these things shall
come upon this generation.
"
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who
kills
the prophets, and stones
those
who
are sent to
her!
How often would I have gathered your
children together, even as a hen gathers
her chickens under her wings, and you
would not!
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!
Behold, your house is left to
you desolate.
Behold, your house is left unto
you desolate.
For I tell
you, you
will
not see me from
now
on
, until
you
say, '
Blessed is he who
comes
in the name of the Lord !'"
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 .
