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.

8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.
