1 Then * g5119 spake * g2980 g5656 Jesus * g2424 to the multitude * g3793, and * g2532 to his * g846 disciples * g3101,
2 Saying * g3004 g5723, The scribes * g1122 and * g2532 the Pharisees * g5330 sit * g2523 g5656 in * g1909 Moses * g3475' seat * g2515:
3 All * g3956 therefore * g3767 whatsoever * g302 * g3745 they bid * g2036 g5632 you * g5213 observe * g5083 g5721, that observe * g5083 g5720 and * g2532 do * g4160 g5720; but * g1161 do * g4160 g5720 not * g3361 ye after * g2596 their * g846 works * g2041: for * g1063 they say * g3004 g5719, and * g2532 do * g4160 g5719 not * g3756.
4 For * g1063 they bind * g1195 g5719 heavy * g926 burdens * g5413 and * g2532 grievous to be borne * g1419, and * g2532 lay * g2007 g5719 them on * g1909 men's * g444 shoulders * g5606; but * g1161 they themselves will * g2309 g5719 not * g3756 move * g2795 g5658 them * g846 with one of their * g846 fingers * g1147.
5 But * g1161 all * g3956 their * g846 works * g2041 they do * g4160 g5719 for * g4314 to be seen * g2300 g5683 of men * g444: * g1161 they make broad * g4115 g5719 their * g846 phylacteries * g5440, and * g2532 enlarge * g3170 g5719 the borders * g2899 of their * g846 garments * g2440, phylacteries: pieces of parchment containing sentences of the law
6 And * g5037 love * g5368 g5719 the uppermost rooms * g4411 at * g1722 feasts * g1173, and * g2532 the chief seats * g4410 in * g1722 the synagogues * g4864,
7 And * g2532 greetings * g783 in * g1722 the markets * g58, and * g2532 to be called * g2564 g5745 of * g5259 men * g444, Rabbi * g4461, Rabbi * g4461.
8 But * g1161 be * g2564 not * g3361 ye * g5210 called * g2564 g5686 Rabbi * g4461: for * g1063 one * g1520 is * g2076 g5748 your * g5216 Master * g2519, even Christ * g5547; and * g1161 all * g3956 ye * g5210 are * g2075 g5748 brethren * g80.
9 And * g2532 call * g2564 g5661 no * g3361 man your * g5216 father * g3962 upon * g1909 the earth * g1093: for * g1063 one * g1520 is * g2076 g5748 your * g5216 Father * g3962, which * g3588 is in * g1722 heaven * g3772.
10 Neither * g3366 be ye called * g2564 g5686 masters * g2519: for * g1063 one * g1520 is * g2076 g5748 your * g5216 Master * g2519, even Christ * g5547.
11 But * g1161 he that is greatest * g3187 among you * g5216 shall be * g2071 g5704 your * g5216 servant * g1249.
12 And * g1161 whosoever * g3748 shall exalt * g5312 g5692 himself * g1438 shall be abased * g5013 g5701; and * g2532 he * g3748 that shall humble * g5013 g5692 himself * g1438 shall be exalted * g5312 g5701.
13 But * g1161 woe * g3759 unto you * g5213, scribes * g1122 and * g2532 Pharisees * g5330, hypocrites * g5273! for * g3754 ye shut up * g2808 g5719 the kingdom * g932 of heaven * g3772 against * g1715 men * g444: for * g1063 ye * g5210 neither * g3761 go in * g1525 g5736 yourselves , neither * g3756 suffer ye * g863 g5719 them that are entering * g1525 g5740 to go in * g1525 g5629.
14 Woe * g3759 unto you * g5213, scribes * g1122 and * g2532 Pharisees * g5330, hypocrites * g5273! for * g3754 ye devour * g2719 g5719 widows * g5503' houses * g3614, and * g2532 for a pretence * g4392 make * g4336 long * g3117 prayer * g4336 g5740: therefore * g1223 * g5124 ye shall receive * g2983 g5695 the greater * g4055 damnation * g2917.
15 Woe * g3759 unto you * g5213, scribes * g1122 and * g2532 Pharisees * g5330, hypocrites * g5273! for * g3754 ye compass * g4013 g5719 sea * g2281 and * g2532 land * g3584 to make * g4160 g5658 one * g1520 proselyte * g4339, and * g2532 when * g3752 he is made * g1096 g5638, ye make * g4160 g5719 him * g846 twofold more * g1362 the child * g5207 of hell * g1067 than yourselves * g5216.
16 Woe * g3759 unto you * g5213, ye blind * g5185 guides * g3595, which * g3588 say * g3004 g5723, Whosoever * g3739 * g302 shall swear * g3660 g5661 by * g1722 the temple * g3485, it is * g2076 g5748 nothing * g3762; but * g1161 whosoever * g3739 * g302 shall swear * g3660 g5661 by * g1722 the gold * g5557 of the temple * g3485, he is a debtor * g3784 g5719!
17 Ye fools * g3474 and * g2532 blind * g5185: for * g1063 whether * g5101 is * g2076 g5748 greater * g3187, the gold * g5557, or * g2228 the temple * g3485 that sanctifieth * g37 g5723 the gold * g5557?
18 And * g2532, Whosoever * g3739 * g1437 shall swear * g3660 g5661 by * g1722 the altar * g2379, it is * g2076 g5748 nothing * g3762; but * g1161 whosoever * g3739 * g302 sweareth * g3660 g5661 by * g1722 the gift * g1435 that is upon * g1883 it * g846, he is guilty * g3784 g5719. guilty: or, debtor, or, bound
19 Ye fools * g3474 and * g2532 blind * g5185: for * g1063 whether * g5101 is greater * g3187, the gift * g1435, or * g2228 the altar * g2379 that sanctifieth * g37 g5723 the gift * g1435?
20 Whoso therefore * g3767 shall swear * g3660 g5660 by * g1722 the altar * g2379, sweareth * g3660 g5719 by * g1722 it * g846, and * g2532 by * g1722 all things * g3956 thereon * g1883 * g846.
21 And * g2532 whoso shall swear * g3660 g5660 by * g1722 the temple * g3485, sweareth * g3660 g5719 by * g1722 it * g846, and * g2532 by * g1722 him that dwelleth * g2730 g5723 therein * g846.
22 And * g2532 he that shall swear * g3660 g5660 by * g1722 heaven * g3772, sweareth * g3660 g5719 by * g1722 the throne * g2362 of God * g2316, and * g2532 by * g1722 him that sitteth * g2521 g5740 thereon * g1883 * g846.
23 Woe * g3759 unto you * g5213, scribes * g1122 and * g2532 Pharisees * g5330, hypocrites * g5273! for * g3754 ye pay tithe * g586 g5719 of mint * g2238 and * g2532 anise * g432 and * g2532 cummin * g2951, and * g2532 have omitted * g863 g5656 the weightier * g926 matters of the law * g3551, judgment * g2920, * g2532 mercy * g1656, and * g2532 faith * g4102: these * g5023 ought ye * g1163 g5713 to have done * g4160 g5658, and not * g3361 to leave * g863 the other * g2548 undone * g863 g5721. anise: Gr. dill
24 Ye blind * g5185 guides * g3595, which strain at * g1368 g5723 a gnat * g2971, and * g1161 swallow * g2666 g5723 a camel * g2574.
25 Woe * g3759 unto you * g5213, scribes * g1122 and * g2532 Pharisees * g5330, hypocrites * g5273! for * g3754 ye make clean * g2511 g5719 the outside * g1855 of the cup * g4221 and * g2532 of the platter * g3953, but * g1161 within * g2081 they are full * g1073 g5719 of * g1537 extortion * g724 and * g2532 excess * g192.
26 Thou blind * g5185 Pharisee * g5330, cleanse * g2511 g5657 first * g4412 that which is within * g1787 the cup * g4221 and * g2532 platter * g3953, that * g2443 the outside * g1622 of them * g846 may be * g1096 g5638 clean * g2513 also * g2532.
27 Woe * g3759 unto you * g5213, scribes * g1122 and * g2532 Pharisees * g5330, hypocrites * g5273! for * g3754 ye are like * g3945 g5719 unto whited * g2867 g5772 sepulchres * g5028, which * g3748 indeed * g3303 appear * g5316 g5727 beautiful * g5611 outward * g1855, but * g1161 are within * g2081 full * g1073 g5719 of dead * g3498 men's bones * g3747, and * g2532 of all * g3956 uncleanness * g167.
28 Even so * g3779 ye * g5210 also * g2532 * g3303 outwardly * g1855 appear * g5316 g5743 righteous * g1342 unto men * g444, but * g1161 within * g2081 ye are * g2075 g5748 full * g3324 of hypocrisy * g5272 and * g2532 iniquity * g458.
29 Woe * g3759 unto you * g5213, scribes * g1122 and * g2532 Pharisees * g5330, hypocrites * g5273! because * g3754 ye build * g3618 g5719 the tombs * g5028 of the prophets * g4396, and * g2532 garnish * g2885 g5719 the sepulchres * g3419 of the righteous * g1342,
30 And * g2532 say * g3004 g5719, If * g1487 we had been * g2258 g5713 in * g1722 the days * g2250 of our * g2257 fathers * g3962, we would * g302 not * g3756 have been * g2258 g5713 partakers * g2844 with them * g846 in * g1722 the blood * g129 of the prophets * g4396.
31 Wherefore * g5620 ye be witnesses * g3140 g5719 unto yourselves * g1438, that * g3754 ye are * g2075 g5748 the children * g5207 of them which killed * g5407 g5660 the prophets * g4396.
32 Fill * g4137 ye * g5210 up * g4137 g5657 then * g2532 the measure * g3358 of your * g5216 fathers * g3962.
33 Ye serpents * g3789, ye generation * g1081 of vipers * g2191, how * g4459 can ye * g5343 g5632 escape * g575 the damnation * g2920 of hell * g1067?
34 Wherefore * g1223 * g5124, behold * g2400 g5628, I * g1473 send * g649 g5719 unto * g4314 you * g5209 prophets * g4396, and * g2532 wise men * g4680, and * g2532 scribes * g1122: and * g2532 some of * g1537 them * g846 ye shall kill * g615 g5692 and * g2532 crucify * g4717 g5692; and * g2532 some of * g1537 them * g846 shall ye scourge * g3146 g5692 in * g1722 your * g5216 synagogues * g4864, and * g2532 persecute * g1377 g5692 them from * g575 city * g4172 to * g1519 city * g4172:
35 That * g3704 upon * g1909 you * g5209 may come * g2064 g5632 all * g3956 the righteous * g1342 blood * g129 shed * g1632 g5746 upon * g1909 the earth * g1093, from * g575 the blood * g129 of righteous * g1342 Abel * g6 unto * g2193 the blood * g129 of Zacharias * g2197 son * g5207 of Barachias * g914, whom * g3739 ye slew * g5407 g5656 between * g3342 the temple * g3485 and * g2532 the altar * g2379.
36 Verily * g281 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, All * g3956 these things * g5023 shall come * g2240 g5692 upon * g1909 this * g5026 generation * g1074.
37 O Jerusalem * g2419, Jerusalem * g2419, thou that killest * g615 g5723 the prophets * g4396, and * g2532 stonest * g3036 g5723 them which are sent * g649 g5772 unto * g4314 thee * g846, how often * g4212 would I * g2309 g5656 have gathered * g1996 thy * g4675 * g3739 children * g5043 together * g1996 g5629, even as * g5158 a hen * g3733 gathereth * g1996 g5719 her * g1438 chickens * g3556 under * g5259 her wings * g4420, and * g2532 ye would * g2309 g5656 not * g3756!
38 Behold * g2400 g5628, your * g5216 house * g3624 is left * g863 g5743 unto you * g5213 desolate * g2048.
39 For * g1063 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, Ye shall * g1492 not * g3364 see * g1492 g5632 me * g3165 henceforth * g575 * g737, till * g2193 * g302 ye shall say * g2036 g5632, Blessed * g2127 g5772 is he that cometh * g2064 g5740 in * g1722 the name * g3686 of the Lord * g2962.
