Matthew 23 (WEBP)

[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!’”

Matthew 23 (KJVS)

[1] 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 uppermost 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 man 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. ()
[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. ()
[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.
[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.
[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! ()
[17] Ye fools and blind: for whether is () greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth () the gold?
[18] And, Whosoever shall swear () by the altar, it is () nothing; but whosoever sweareth () by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. ()
[19] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth () the gift?
[20] Whoso therefore shall swear () by the altar, sweareth () by it, and by all things thereon.
[21] And whoso shall swear () by the temple, sweareth () by it, and by him that dwelleth () therein.
[22] And he that shall swear () by heaven, sweareth () by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth () thereon.
[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. ()
[24] Ye blind guides, which strain at () a gnat, and swallow () a camel.
[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.
[26] Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse () first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be () clean also.
[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.
[28] Even so ye also outwardly appear () righteous unto men, but within ye are () full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
[29] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build () the tombs of the prophets, and garnish () the sepulchres of the righteous,
[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.
[31] Wherefore ye be witnesses () unto yourselves, that ye are () the children of them which killed () the prophets.
[32] Fill ye up () then the measure of your fathers.
[33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye () escape the damnation of hell?
[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:
[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.
[36] Verily I say () unto you, All these things shall come () upon this generation.
[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!
[38] Behold, () your house is left () unto you desolate.
[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.
