Matthew 23:1-39

Then
<5119>
spake
<2980> (5656)
Jesus
<2424>
to the multitude
<3793>_,
and
<2532>
to his
<846>
disciples
<3101>_,
Saying
<3004> (5723)_,
The scribes
<1122>
and
<2532>
the Pharisees
<5330>
sit
<2523> (5656)
in
<1909>
Moses
<3475>_'
seat
<2515>_:
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>_.
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>_.
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}
And
<5037>
love
<5368> (5719)
the uppermost rooms
<4411>
at
<1722>
feasts
<1173>_,
and
<2532>
the chief seats
<4410>
in
<1722>
the synagogues
<4864>_,
And
<2532>
greetings
<783>
in
<1722>
the markets
<58>_,
and
<2532>
to be called
<2564> (5745)
of
<5259>
men
<444>_,
Rabbi
<4461>_,
Rabbi
<4461>_.
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>_.
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>_.
Neither
<3366>
be ye called
<2564> (5686)
masters
<2519>_:
for
<1063>
one
<1520>
is
<2076> (5748)
your
<5216>
Master
<2519>_,
[even] Christ
<5547>_.
But
<1161>
he that is greatest
<3187>
among you
<5216>
shall be
<2071> (5704)
your
<5216>
servant
<1249>_.
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)_.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
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)_!
[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>_?
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}
[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>_?
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
[Ye] blind
<5185>
guides
<3595>_,
which strain at
<1368> (5723)
a gnat
<2971>_,
and
<1161>
swallow
<2666> (5723)
a camel
<2574>_.
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>_.
[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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_,
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>_.
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>_.
Fill
<4137> (0)
ye
<5210>
up
<4137> (5657)
then
<2532>
the measure
<3358>
of your
<5216>
fathers
<3962>_.
[Ye] serpents
<3789>_,
[ye] generation
<1081>
of vipers
<2191>_,
how
<4459>
can ye
<5343> (5632)
escape
<575>
the damnation
<2920>
of hell
<1067>_?
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>_:
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>_.
Verily
<281>
I say
<3004> (5719)
unto you
<5213>_,
All
<3956>
these things
<5023>
shall come
<2240> (5692)
upon
<1909>
this
<5026>
generation
<1074>_.
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>_!
Behold
<2400> (5628)_,
your
<5216>
house
<3624>
is left
<863> (5743)
unto you
<5213>
desolate
<2048>_.
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>_.
