THEY SAY AND DO NOT

MATTHEW 23:1-14

THEN SPAKE JESUS 

TO THE MULTITUDE, 

AND TO HIS DISCIPLES.
SAYING 

THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES 

SIT IN MOSES' SEAT:
ALL THEREFORE 

WHATSOEVER THEY BID 

YOU OBSERVE, THAT 

OBSERVE AND DO; 

BUT DO NOT YE AFTER 

THEIR WORKS: 

FOR 

THEY SAY, AND DO NOT.
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.

BUT ALL THEIR WORKS 

THEY DO FOR 

TO BE SEEN OF MEN: 

THEY MAKE BROAD 

THEIR PHYLACTERIES, 

AND 

ENLARGE 

THE BORDER OF THEIR GARMENTS, 

AND 

LOVE 

THE UPPERMOST 

ROOMS AT FEAST, 

AND 

THE CHIEF SEATS 

IN THE SYNAGOGUES, 

AND 

GREETINGS IN THE MARKETS, 

AND 

TO BE 

CALLED OF, RABBI, RABBI.  

BUT BE 

NOT YE CALLED 

RABBI: 

FOR ONE IS YOUR MASTER, 

EVEN CHRIST; 

AND ALL YE  

ARE BRETHREN. 

AND 

CALL NO MAN 

YOUR FATHER 

UPON THE EARTH: 

FOR ONE IS YOUR FATHER, 

WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. 

NEITHER 

BE YE CALLED 

MASTERS: 

FOR ONE IS YOUR MASTER, 

EVEN CHRIST. 

BUT HE THAT 

IS GREATEST AMONG 

YOU SHALL BE 

YOUR SERVANT. 

AND 

WHOSOEVER SHALL 

EXALT HIMSELF 

SHALL BE ABASED; 

AND 

HE THAT SHALL 

HUMBLE HIMSELF 

SHALL BE EXALTED
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. 

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.

 

LOVE
