Matthew - Chapter: 23


23:1	Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
23:2	Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
23:3	All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
23:4	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.
23:5	But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
23:6	And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
23:7	And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
23:8	But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
23:9	And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
23:10	Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
23:11	But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
23:12	And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13	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.
23:14	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.
23:15	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
23:16	Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
23:17	Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
23:18	And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
23:19	Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
23:20	Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
23:21	And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
23:22	And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23:23	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
23:24	Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
23:25	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
23:26	Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
23:27	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
23:28	Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
23:29	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
23:30	And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
23:31	Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
23:32	Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
23:33	Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
23:34	Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
23:35	That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
23:36	Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
23:37	O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
23:38	Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
23:39	For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.


23:1	Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
23:2	Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
23:3	All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not.
23:4	For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers.
23:5	All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments,
23:6	And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies,
23:7	And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
23:8	But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
23:9	And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen.
23:10	Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.
23:11	But he that is greatest among you, let him be your seruant.
23:12	For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.
23:13	Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in.
23:14	Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receiue the greater damnation.
23:15	Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him two folde more the childe of hell, then you your selues.
23:16	Wo be vnto you blinde guides, which say, Whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the Temple, he offendeth.
23:17	Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde?
23:18	And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth.
23:19	Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
23:20	Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
23:21	And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
23:22	And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23:23	Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.
23:24	Ye blinde guides, which straine out a gnat, and swallowe a camell.
23:25	Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter side of the cup, and of the platter: but within they are ful of briberie and excesse.
23:26	Thou blinde Pharise, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be cleane also.
23:27	Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are like vnto whited tombes, which appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and all filthines.
23:28	So are ye also: for outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie.
23:29	Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
23:30	And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
23:31	So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets.
23:32	Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers.
23:33	O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell!
23:34	Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie,
23:35	That vpon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed vpon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whome ye slewe betweene the Temple and the altar.
23:36	Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation.
23:37	Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!
23:38	Beholde, your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate,
23:39	For I say vnto you, ye shall not see mee henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.


23:1	Then spake Iesus to the people and to his disciples
23:2	sayinge. The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
23:3	All therfore whatsoever they byd you observe that observe and do: but after their workes do not:
23:4	For they saye and do not. Ye and they bynde hevy burthes and grevous to be borne and ley the on menes shulders: but they themsylfes will not heave at them with one of their fyngers.
23:5	All their workes they do for to be sene of me. They set abroade their philateries and make large borders on there garmetes
23:6	and love to sit vppermooste at feastes and to have the chefe seates in the synagoges
23:7	and gretinges in the marketes and to be called of men Rabi.
23:8	But ye shall not suffre youre selves to be called Rabi. For one is youre master that is to wyt Christ and all ye are brethre.
23:9	And call no man youre father vpon the erth for there is but one youre father and he is in heven.
23:10	Be not called masters for there is but one youre master and he is Christ.
23:11	He that is greatest amoge you shalbe youre seruaunte.
23:12	But whosoever exalteth himsilfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth himsilfe shalbe exalted.
23:13	Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites for ye shutte vp the kyngdome of heve before men: ye youre selves goo not in nether suffre ye them that come to enter in.
23:14	Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites: ye devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of praying longe prayers: wherfore ye shall receave greater damnacion.
23:15	Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which compasse see and londe to bringe one in to youre belefe: and when he ys brought ye make him two folde more the chylde of hell then ye youre selves are.
23:16	Wo be vnto you blynd gides which saye whosoever sweare by the teple it is no thinge: but whosoever sweare by the golde of the temple he offendeth.
23:17	Ye foles and blinde? whether is greater the golde or the teple that sanctifieth ye golde.
23:18	And whosoever sweareth by the aulter it is nothinge: but whosoever sweareth by ye offeringe yt lyeth on ye aultre offendeth.
23:19	Ye foles and blinde: whether is greater ye offeringe or ye aultre which sanctifieth ye offeringe?
23:20	Whosoever therfore sweareth by ye aultre sweareth by it and by all yt there on is.
23:21	And whosoever sweareth by the teple sweareth by it and by hym yt dwelleth therin.
23:22	And he that sweareth by heve swereth by the seate of God and by hym that sytteth theron.
23:23	Wo be to you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which tythe mynt annyse and comen and leave the waygthtyer mattres of ye lawe vndone: iudgemet mercy and fayth. These ought ye to have done and not to have left the othre vndone.
23:24	Ye blinde gydes which strayne out a gnat and swalowe a cammyll.
23:25	Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites which make clene ye vtter syde of the cuppe and of the platter: but within they are full of brybery and excesse.
23:26	Thou blinde Pharise clense fyrst the outsyde of the cup and platter that the ynneside of them maye be clene also.
23:27	Wo be to you Scribe and Pharises ypocrite for ye are lyke vnto paynted tombes which appere beautyfull outwarde: but are wt in full of deed bones and of all fylthynes.
23:28	So are ye for outwarde ye appere righteous vnto me when within ye are full of ypocrisie and iniquite.
23:29	Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites: ye bylde the tombes of the Prophetes and garnisshe the sepulchres of the righteous
23:30	and saye: Yf we had bene in the dayes of oure fathers we wolde not have bene parteners with them in the bloud of the Prophetes.
23:31	So then ye be witnesses vnto youre selfes that ye are the chyldren of them which killed the prophetes.
23:32	Fulfill ye lyke wyse the measure of youre fathers.
23:33	Yee serpentes and generacion of vipers how shuld ye scape ye dapnacio of hell?
23:34	Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you prophetes wyse men and scribes and of the ye shall kyll and crucifie: and of the ye shall scourge in youre synagoges and persecute from cyte to cyte
23:35	that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude that was sheed vpon the erth fro the bloud of righteous Abell vnto ye bloud of zacharias the sonne of Barachias who ye slewe betwene the teple and ye altre.
23:36	Verely I say vnto you all these thinges shall light vpon this generacion.
23:37	Hierusalem hierusalem which kyllest prophetes and stonest the which are sent to the: how often wolde I have gadered thy chyldren to gether as the henne gadreth her chickes vnder her winges but ye wolde not:
23:38	Beholde youre habitacio shalbe lefte vnto you desolate.
23:39	For I saye to you ye shall not se me heceforthe tyll that ye saye: blessed is he that cometh in the name of ye Lorde.
