3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practise what they preach.
4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 ‘Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;
6 they love the place of honour at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
7 they love to be greeted with respect in the market-places and to be called “Rabbi” by others.
8 ‘But you are not to be called “Rabbi”, for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 And do not call anyone on earth “father”, for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
