Matthew 23:2-9 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

2. Saying,

3. All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not according to their works: for they say, and do not.

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.

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

6. And love the uppermost places at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7. And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8. But you be not called Rabbi: for one is your Teacher, even Christ; and all you are brothers.

9. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.
