1. Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2. Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
3. All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.
4. For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them.
5. And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.
6. And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
7. And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
8. But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren.
