1Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples,

2saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat:

3all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.

4Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men`s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.

5But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [of their garments],

6and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
