New King James Version

Matthew 23:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,

2. saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.

3. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.

4. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, 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 by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.
