| 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>. |
| 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>. |
