Matthew 23:1-21

23:1

Then
<5119>

spake
<2980> (5656)

Jesus
<2424>

to the multitude
<3793>_,

and
<2532>

to his
<846>

disciples
<3101>_,

23:2

Saying
<3004> (5723)_,

The scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

the Pharisees
<5330>

sit
<2523> (5656)

in
<1909>

Moses
<3475>_'

seat
<2515>_:

23:3

All
<3956>

therefore
<3767>

whatsoever
<302> <3745>

they bid
<2036> (5632)

you
<5213>

observe
<5083> (5721)_,

[that] observe
<5083> (5720)

and
<2532>

do
<4160> (5720)_;

but
<1161>

do
<4160> (5720)

not
<3361>

ye after
<2596>

their
<846>

works
<2041>_:

for
<1063>

they say
<3004> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

do
<4160> (5719)

not
<3756>_.

23:4

For
<1063>

they bind
<1195> (5719)

heavy
<926>

burdens
<5413>

and
<2532>

grievous to be borne
<1419>_,

and
<2532>

lay
<2007> (5719)

[them] on
<1909>

men's
<444>

shoulders
<5606>_;

but
<1161>

they [themselves] will
<2309> (5719)

not
<3756>

move
<2795> (5658)

them
<846>

with one of their
<846>

fingers
<1147>_.

23:5

But
<1161>

all
<3956>

their
<846>

works
<2041>

they do
<4160> (5719)

for
<4314>

to be seen
<2300> (5683)

of men
<444>_:

<1161>

they make broad
<4115> (5719)

their
<846>

phylacteries
<5440>_,

and
<2532>

enlarge
<3170> (5719)

the borders
<2899>

of their
<846>

garments
<2440>_,

{phylacteries: pieces of parchment containing sentences of the law}

23:6

And
<5037>

love
<5368> (5719)

the uppermost rooms
<4411>

at
<1722>

feasts
<1173>_,

and
<2532>

the chief seats
<4410>

in
<1722>

the synagogues
<4864>_,

23:7

And
<2532>

greetings
<783>

in
<1722>

the markets
<58>_,

and
<2532>

to be called
<2564> (5745)

of
<5259>

men
<444>_,

Rabbi
<4461>_,

Rabbi
<4461>_.

23:8

But
<1161>

be
<2564> (0)

not
<3361>

ye
<5210>

called
<2564> (5686)

Rabbi
<4461>_:

for
<1063>

one
<1520>

is
<2076> (5748)

your
<5216>

Master
<2519>_,

[even] Christ
<5547>_;

and
<1161>

all
<3956>

ye
<5210>

are
<2075> (5748)

brethren
<80>_.

23:9

And
<2532>

call
<2564> (5661)

no
<3361>

[man] your
<5216>

father
<3962>

upon
<1909>

the earth
<1093>_:

for
<1063>

one
<1520>

is
<2076> (5748)

your
<5216>

Father
<3962>_,

which
<3588>

is in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_.

23:10

Neither
<3366>

be ye called
<2564> (5686)

masters
<2519>_:

for
<1063>

one
<1520>

is
<2076> (5748)

your
<5216>

Master
<2519>_,

[even] Christ
<5547>_.

23:11

But
<1161>

he that is greatest
<3187>

among you
<5216>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

your
<5216>

servant
<1249>_.

23:12

And
<1161>

whosoever
<3748>

shall exalt
<5312> (5692)

himself
<1438>

shall be abased
<5013> (5701)_;

and
<2532>

he
<3748>

that shall humble
<5013> (5692)

himself
<1438>

shall be exalted
<5312> (5701)_.

23:13

But
<1161>

woe
<3759>

unto you
<5213>_,

scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

Pharisees
<5330>_,

hypocrites
<5273>_!

for
<3754>

ye shut up
<2808> (5719)

the kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>

against
<1715>

men
<444>_:

for
<1063>

ye
<5210>

neither
<3761>

go in
<1525> (5736)

[yourselves], neither
<3756>

suffer ye
<863> (5719)

them that are entering
<1525> (5740)

to go in
<1525> (5629)_.

23:14

Woe
<3759>

unto you
<5213>_,

scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

Pharisees
<5330>_,

hypocrites
<5273>_!

for
<3754>

ye devour
<2719> (5719)

widows
<5503>_'

houses
<3614>_,

and
<2532>

for a pretence
<4392>

make
<4336> (0)

long
<3117>

prayer
<4336> (5740)_:

therefore
<1223> <5124>

ye shall receive
<2983> (5695)

the greater
<4055>

damnation
<2917>_.

23:15

Woe
<3759>

unto you
<5213>_,

scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

Pharisees
<5330>_,

hypocrites
<5273>_!

for
<3754>

ye compass
<4013> (5719)

sea
<2281>

and
<2532>

land
<3584>

to make
<4160> (5658)

one
<1520>

proselyte
<4339>_,

and
<2532>

when
<3752>

he is made
<1096> (5638)_,

ye make
<4160> (5719)

him
<846>

twofold more
<1362>

the child
<5207>

of hell
<1067>

than yourselves
<5216>_.

23:16

Woe
<3759>

unto you
<5213>_,

[ye] blind
<5185>

guides
<3595>_,

which
<3588>

say
<3004> (5723)_,

Whosoever
<3739> <302>

shall swear
<3660> (5661)

by
<1722>

the temple
<3485>_,

it is
<2076> (5748)

nothing
<3762>_;

but
<1161>

whosoever
<3739> <302>

shall swear
<3660> (5661)

by
<1722>

the gold
<5557>

of the temple
<3485>_,

he is a debtor
<3784> (5719)_!

23:17

[Ye] fools
<3474>

and
<2532>

blind
<5185>_:

for
<1063>

whether
<5101>

is
<2076> (5748)

greater
<3187>_,

the gold
<5557>_,

or
<2228>

the temple
<3485>

that sanctifieth
<37> (5723)

the gold
<5557>_?

23:18

And
<2532>_,

Whosoever
<3739> <1437>

shall swear
<3660> (5661)

by
<1722>

the altar
<2379>_,

it is
<2076> (5748)

nothing
<3762>_;

but
<1161>

whosoever
<3739> <302>

sweareth
<3660> (5661)

by
<1722>

the gift
<1435>

that is upon
<1883>

it
<846>_,

he is guilty
<3784> (5719)_.

{guilty: or, debtor, or, bound}

23:19

[Ye] fools
<3474>

and
<2532>

blind
<5185>_:

for
<1063>

whether
<5101>

[is] greater
<3187>_,

the gift
<1435>_,

or
<2228>

the altar
<2379>

that sanctifieth
<37> (5723)

the gift
<1435>_?

23:20

Whoso therefore
<3767>

shall swear
<3660> (5660)

by
<1722>

the altar
<2379>_,

sweareth
<3660> (5719)

by
<1722>

it
<846>_,

and
<2532>

by
<1722>

all things
<3956>

thereon
<1883> <846>_.

23:21

And
<2532>

whoso shall swear
<3660> (5660)

by
<1722>

the temple
<3485>_,

sweareth
<3660> (5719)

by
<1722>

it
<846>_,

and
<2532>

by
<1722>

him that dwelleth
<2730> (5723)

therein
<846>_.
