Matthew 23:2-39

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>_.

23:22

And
<2532>

he that shall swear
<3660> (5660)

by
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_,

sweareth
<3660> (5719)

by
<1722>

the throne
<2362>

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

by
<1722>

him that sitteth
<2521> (5740)

thereon
<1883> <846>_.

23:23

Woe
<3759>

unto you
<5213>_,

scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

Pharisees
<5330>_,

hypocrites
<5273>_!

for
<3754>

ye pay tithe
<586> (5719)

of mint
<2238>

and
<2532>

anise
<432>

and
<2532>

cummin
<2951>_,

and
<2532>

have omitted
<863> (5656)

the weightier
<926>

[matters] of the law
<3551>_,

judgment
<2920>_,

<2532>

mercy
<1656>_,

and
<2532>

faith
<4102>_:

these
<5023>

ought ye
<1163> (5713)

to have done
<4160> (5658)_,

and not
<3361>

to leave
<863> (0)

the other
<2548>

undone
<863> (5721)_.

{anise: Gr. dill}

23:24

[Ye] blind
<5185>

guides
<3595>_,

which strain at
<1368> (5723)

a gnat
<2971>_,

and
<1161>

swallow
<2666> (5723)

a camel
<2574>_.

23:25

Woe
<3759>

unto you
<5213>_,

scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

Pharisees
<5330>_,

hypocrites
<5273>_!

for
<3754>

ye make clean
<2511> (5719)

the outside
<1855>

of the cup
<4221>

and
<2532>

of the platter
<3953>_,

but
<1161>

within
<2081>

they are full
<1073> (5719)

of
<1537>

extortion
<724>

and
<2532>

excess
<192>_.

23:26

[Thou] blind
<5185>

Pharisee
<5330>_,

cleanse
<2511> (5657)

first
<4412>

that [which is] within
<1787>

the cup
<4221>

and
<2532>

platter
<3953>_,

that
<2443>

the outside
<1622>

of them
<846>

may be
<1096> (5638)

clean
<2513>

also
<2532>_.

23:27

Woe
<3759>

unto you
<5213>_,

scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

Pharisees
<5330>_,

hypocrites
<5273>_!

for
<3754>

ye are like
<3945> (5719)

unto whited
<2867> (5772)

sepulchres
<5028>_,

which
<3748>

indeed
<3303>

appear
<5316> (5727)

beautiful
<5611>

outward
<1855>_,

but
<1161>

are within
<2081>

full
<1073> (5719)

of dead
<3498>

[men's] bones
<3747>_,

and
<2532>

of all
<3956>

uncleanness
<167>_.

23:28

Even so
<3779>

ye
<5210>

also
<2532> <3303>

outwardly
<1855>

appear
<5316> (5743)

righteous
<1342>

unto men
<444>_,

but
<1161>

within
<2081>

ye are
<2075> (5748)

full
<3324>

of hypocrisy
<5272>

and
<2532>

iniquity
<458>_.

23:29

Woe
<3759>

unto you
<5213>_,

scribes
<1122>

and
<2532>

Pharisees
<5330>_,

hypocrites
<5273>_!

because
<3754>

ye build
<3618> (5719)

the tombs
<5028>

of the prophets
<4396>_,

and
<2532>

garnish
<2885> (5719)

the sepulchres
<3419>

of the righteous
<1342>_,

23:30

And
<2532>

say
<3004> (5719)_,

If
<1487>

we had been
<2258> (5713)

in
<1722>

the days
<2250>

of our
<2257>

fathers
<3962>_,

we would
<302>

not
<3756>

have been
<2258> (5713)

partakers
<2844>

with them
<846>

in
<1722>

the blood
<129>

of the prophets
<4396>_.

23:31

Wherefore
<5620>

ye be witnesses
<3140> (5719)

unto yourselves
<1438>_,

that
<3754>

ye are
<2075> (5748)

the children
<5207>

of them which killed
<5407> (5660)

the prophets
<4396>_.

23:32

Fill
<4137> (0)

ye
<5210>

up
<4137> (5657)

then
<2532>

the measure
<3358>

of your
<5216>

fathers
<3962>_.

23:33

[Ye] serpents
<3789>_,

[ye] generation
<1081>

of vipers
<2191>_,

how
<4459>

can ye
<5343> (5632)

escape
<575>

the damnation
<2920>

of hell
<1067>_?

23:34

Wherefore
<1223> <5124>_,

behold
<2400> (5628)_,

I
<1473>

send
<649> (5719)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>

prophets
<4396>_,

and
<2532>

wise men
<4680>_,

and
<2532>

scribes
<1122>_:

and
<2532>

[some] of
<1537>

them
<846>

ye shall kill
<615> (5692)

and
<2532>

crucify
<4717> (5692)_;

and
<2532>

[some] of
<1537>

them
<846>

shall ye scourge
<3146> (5692)

in
<1722>

your
<5216>

synagogues
<4864>_,

and
<2532>

persecute
<1377> (5692)

[them] from
<575>

city
<4172>

to
<1519>

city
<4172>_:

23:35

That
<3704>

upon
<1909>

you
<5209>

may come
<2064> (5632)

all
<3956>

the righteous
<1342>

blood
<129>

shed
<1632> (5746)

upon
<1909>

the earth
<1093>_,

from
<575>

the blood
<129>

of righteous
<1342>

Abel
<6>

unto
<2193>

the blood
<129>

of Zacharias
<2197>

son
<5207>

of Barachias
<914>_,

whom
<3739>

ye slew
<5407> (5656)

between
<3342>

the temple
<3485>

and
<2532>

the altar
<2379>_.

23:36

Verily
<281>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

All
<3956>

these things
<5023>

shall come
<2240> (5692)

upon
<1909>

this
<5026>

generation
<1074>_.

23:37

O Jerusalem
<2419>_,

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

[thou] that killest
<615> (5723)

the prophets
<4396>_,

and
<2532>

stonest
<3036> (5723)

them which are sent
<649> (5772)

unto
<4314>

thee
<846>_,

how often
<4212>

would I
<2309> (5656)

have gathered
<1996> (0)

thy
<4675> <3739>

children
<5043>

together
<1996> (5629)_,

even as
<5158>

a hen
<3733>

gathereth
<1996> (5719)

her
<1438>

chickens
<3556>

under
<5259>

[her] wings
<4420>_,

and
<2532>

ye would
<2309> (5656)

not
<3756>_!

23:38

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

your
<5216>

house
<3624>

is left
<863> (5743)

unto you
<5213>

desolate
<2048>_.

23:39

For
<1063>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

Ye shall
<1492> (0)

not
<3364>

see
<1492> (5632)

me
<3165>

henceforth
<575> <737>_,

till
<2193> <302>

ye shall say
<2036> (5632)_,

Blessed
<2127> (5772)

[is] he that cometh
<2064> (5740)

in
<1722>

the name
<3686>

of the Lord
<2962>_.
