[1] Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, [2] saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat. [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. [5] But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteriesⓘ broad and enlarge the fringes§ of their garments, [6] and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, [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. [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. [12] Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. [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. [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.’ [17] You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? [18] And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’ [19] You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? [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. [24] You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel! [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.‡ [26] You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also. [27] “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. [28] Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. [29] “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous, [30] 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.’ [31] Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets. [32] Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. [33] You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?§ [34] 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, [35] 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. [36] Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation. [37] “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not! [38] Behold, your house is left to you desolate. [39] 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!’”†

The Great Denunciation

[1] Then G5119 spake G2980 Jesus G2424 to the G3588 multitude, G3793 and G2532 to his G846 disciples, G3101 [2] saying, G3004 The G3588 scribes G1122 and G2532 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 sit G2523 in G1909 Moses’ G3475 seat: G2515 [3] all G3956 therefore G3767 whatsoever G3745 G302 they bid G2036 you G5213 observe, G5083 that observe G5083 and G2532 do; G4160 but G1161 do G4160 not G3361 ye G4160 after G2596 their G846 works: G2041 for G1063 they say, G3004 and G2532 do G4160 not. G3756 [4] For G1063 they bind G1195 heavy G926 burdens G5413 and G2532 grievous to be borne, G1419 and G2532 lay G2007 them on G1909 men’s G444 shoulders; G5606 but G1161 they G2309 themselves will G2309 not G3756 move G2795 them G846 with one of G1147 their G846 fingers. G1147 [5] But G1161 all G3956 their G846 works G2041 they do G4160 for G4314 to be seen G2300 of men: G444 they make broad G4115 G1161 their G846 phylacteries, G5440 and G2532 enlarge G3170 the G3588 borders G2899 of their G846 garments, G2440 [6] and G5037 love G5368 the G3588 uppermost rooms G4411 at G1722 feasts, G1173 and G2532 the G3588 chief seats G4410 in G1722 the G3588 synagogues, G4864 [7] and G2532 greetings G783 in G1722 the G3588 markets, G58 and G2532 to be called G2564 of G5259 men, G444 Rabbi, G4461 Rabbi. G4461 [8] But G1161 be G2564 not G3361 ye G5210 called G2564 Rabbi: G4461 for G1063 one G1520 is G2076 your G5216 Master, G2519 even Christ; G5547 and G1161 all G3956 ye G5210 are G2075 brethren. G80 [9] And G2532 call G2564 no G3361 man your G5216 father G3962 upon G1909 the G3588 earth: G1093 for G1063 one G1520 is G2076 your G5216 Father, G3962 which G3588 is in G1722 heaven. G3772 [10] Neither G3366 be ye called G2564 masters: G2519 for G1063 one G1520 is G2076 your G5216 Master, G2519 even Christ. G5547 [11] But G1161 he that G3588 is greatest G3187 among you G5216 shall be G2071 your G5216 servant. G1249 [12] And G1161 whosoever G3748 shall exalt G5312 himself G1438 shall be abased; G5013 and G2532 he that G3748 shall humble G5013 himself G1438 shall be exalted. G5312 [13] But G1161 woe G3759 unto you, G5213 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for G3754 ye shut up G2808 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 against G1715 men: G444 for G1063 ye G5210 neither G3756 go in G1525 yourselves, neither G3761 suffer ye G863 them G3588 that are entering G1525 to go in. G1525 [14] Woe G3759 unto you, G5213 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for G3754 ye devour G2719 widows’ G5503 houses, G3614 and G2532 for a pretence G4392 make G4336 long G3117 prayer: G4336 therefore G1223 G5124 ye shall receive G2983 the greater G4053 damnation. G2917 [15] Woe G3759 unto you, G5213 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for G3754 ye compass G4013 sea G2281 and G2532 land G3584 to make G4160 one G1520 proselyte, G4339 and G2532 when G3752 he is made, G1096 ye make G4160 him G846 twofold more G1362 the child G5207 of hell G1067 than yourselves. G5216 [16] Woe G3759 unto you, G5213 ye blind G5185 guides, G3595 which G3588 say, G3004 Whosoever G3739 G302 shall swear G3660 by G1722 the G3588 temple, G3485 it is G2076 nothing; G3762 but G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 shall swear G3660 by G1722 the G3588 gold G5557 of the G3588 temple, G3485 he is a debtor! G3784 [17] Ye fools G3474 and G2532 blind: G5185 for G1063 whether G5101 is G2076 greater, G3187 the G3588 gold, G5557 or G2228 the G3588 temple G3485 that G3588 sanctifieth G37 the G3588 gold? G5557 [18] And, G2532 Whosoever G3739 G1437 shall swear G3660 by G1722 the G3588 altar, G2379 it is G2076 nothing; G3762 but G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 sweareth G3660 by G1722 the G3588 gift G1435 that G3588 is upon G1883 it, G846 he is guilty. G3784§ [19] Ye fools G3474 and G2532 blind: G5185 for G1063 whether G5101 is greater, G3173 the G3588 gift, G1435 or G2228 the G3588 altar G2379 that G3588 sanctifieth G37 the G3588 gift? G1435 [20] Whoso G3588 therefore G3767 shall swear G3660 by G1722 the G3588 altar, G2379 sweareth G3660 by G1722 it, G846 and G2532 by G1722 all things G3956 thereon. G1883 G846 [21] And G2532 whoso G3588 shall swear G3660 by G1722 the G3588 temple, G3485 sweareth G3660 by G1722 it, G846 and G2532 by G1722 him that G3588 dwelleth G2730 therein. G846 [22] And G2532 he that G3588 shall swear G3660 by G1722 heaven, G3772 sweareth G3660 by G1722 the G3588 throne G2362 of God, G2316 and G2532 by G1722 him that G3588 sitteth G2521 thereon. G1883 G846 [23] Woe G3759 unto you, G5213 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for G3754 ye pay tithe G586 of mint G2238 and G2532 anise G432 and G2532 cummin, G2951 and G2532 have omitted G863 the G3588 weightier G926 matters of the G3588 law, G3551 judgment, G2920 mercy, G1656 and G2532 faith: G4102 these G5023 ought ye G1163 to have done, G4160 and G2548 not G3361 to leave G863 the other G2548 undone. G863 [24] Ye blind G5185 guides, G3595 which G3588 strain at G1368 a G3588 gnat, G2971 and G1161 swallow G2666 a G3588 camel. G2574 [25] Woe G3759 unto you, G5213 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for G3754 ye make clean G2511 the G3588 outside G1855 of the G3588 cup G4221 and G2532 of the G3588 platter, G3953 but G1161 within G2081 they are full G1073 of G1537 extortion G724 and G2532 excess. G192 [26] Thou blind G5185 Pharisee, G5330 cleanse G2511 first G4412 that G3588 which is within G1787 the G3588 cup G4221 and G2532 platter, G3953 that G2443 the G3588 outside G1622 of them G846 may be G1096 clean G2513 also. G2532 [27] Woe G3759 unto you, G5213 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 for G3754 ye are like G3945 unto whited G2867 sepulchres, G5028 which G3748 indeed G3303 appear G5316 beautiful G5611 outward, G1855 but G1161 are G1073 within G2081 full G1073 of dead G3498 men’s bones, G3747 and G2532 of all G3956 uncleanness. G167 [28] Even so G3779 ye G5210 also G2532 outwardly G1855 G3303 appear G5316 righteous G1342 unto men, G444 but G1161 within G2081 ye are G2075 full G3324 of hypocrisy G5272 and G2532 iniquity. G458 [29] Woe G3759 unto you, G5213 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 hypocrites! G5273 because G3754 ye build G3618 the G3588 tombs G5028 of the G3588 prophets, G4396 and G2532 garnish G2885 the G3588 sepulchres G3419 of the G3588 righteous, G1342 [30] and G2532 say, G3004 If G1487 we had been G2258 in G1722 the G3588 days G2250 of our G2257 fathers, G3962 we would G302 not G3756 have been G2258 partakers G2844 with them G846 in G1722 the G3588 blood G129 of the G3588 prophets. G4396 [31] Wherefore G5620 ye be witnesses G3140 unto yourselves, G1438 that G3754 ye are G2075 the children G5207 of them which G3588 killed G5407 the G3588 prophets. G4396 [32] Fill G4137 ye G5210 up G4137 then G2532 the G3588 measure G3358 of your G5216 fathers. G3962 [33] Ye serpents, G3789 ye generation G1081 of vipers, G2191 how G4459 can ye G5343 escape G5343 G575 the G3588 damnation G2920 of hell? G1067 [34] Wherefore, G1223 G5124 behold, G2400 I G1473 send G649 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 and G2532 crucify; G4717 and G2532 some of G1537 them G846 shall ye scourge G3146 in G1722 your G5216 synagogues, G4864 and G2532 persecute G1377 them from G575 city G4172 to G1519 city: G4172 [35] that G3704 upon G1909 you G5209 may come G2064 all G3956 the righteous G1342 blood G129 shed G1632 upon G1909 the G3588 earth, G1093 from G575 the G3588 blood G129 of righteous G1342 Abel G6 unto G2193 the G3588 blood G129 of Zacharias G2197 son G5207 of Barachias, G914 whom G3739 ye slew G5407 between G3342 the G3588 temple G3485 and G2532 the G3588 altar. G2379 [36] Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 All G3956 these things G5023 shall come G2240 upon G1909 this G3778 generation. G1074 [37] O Jerusalem, G2419 Jerusalem, G2419 thou that G3588 killest G615 the G3588 prophets, G4396 and G2532 stonest G3036 them which G3588 are sent G649 unto G4314 thee, G846 how often G4212 would I G2309 have gathered G1996 thy G4675 children G5043 together, G1996 even as G3739 G5158 a hen G3733 gathereth G1996 her G1438 chickens G3556 under G5259 her wings, G4420 and G2532 ye would G2309 not! G3756 [38] Behold, G2400 your G5216 house G3624 is left G863 unto you G5213 desolate. G2048 [39] For G1063 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 Ye shall G1492 not G3756 G3361 see G1492 me G3165 henceforth, G575 G737 till G2193 G302 ye shall say, G2036 Blessed G2127 is he that G3588 cometh G2064 in G1722 the name G3686 of the Lord.
