6. and love the place of honour at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

7. the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.

8. But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi,’ for one is your Rabbi, the Messiah, and all of you are brothers.

9. Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.

10. Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah.

11. But he who is greatest amongst you will be your servant.

12. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

13. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretence you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
