1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses.
3 Therefore do and observe everything that they tell you, but do not do as they do, for they tell others to do something and do not do it themselves.
4 And they tie up heavy burdens and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing with their finger to move them.
5 And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries broad and make their tassels long.
6 And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues
7 and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people.
