1. Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
2. The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law are experts in the Law of Moses.
3. So obey everything they teach you, but don't do as they do. After all, they say one thing and do something else.
4. They pile heavy burdens on people's shoulders and won't lift a finger to help.
5. Everything they do is just to show off in front of others. They even make a big show of wearing Scripture verses on their foreheads and arms, and they wear big tassels for everyone to see.
