Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
anantara. m yii"su rjananivaha. m "si. syaa. m"scaavadat,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
adhyaapakaa. h phiruu"sina"sca muusaasane upavi"santi,
3 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.

4 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.
te durvvahaan gurutaraan bhaaraan badvvaa manu. syaa. naa. m skandhepari samarpayanti, kintu svayama"ngulyaikayaapi na caalayanti|
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.

8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
kintu yuuya. m gurava iti sambodhaniiyaa maa bhavata, yato yu. smaakam eka. h khrii. s.taeva guru
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.

10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.

11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.

13 “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.

14 “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.

15 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 a son of Gehenna as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)

16 “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.’

20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.

21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.

22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.

23 “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.

25 “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.
