saying - Upon Moses' seat, have sat down, the Scribes and the Pharisees: All things, therefore, whatsoever they tell you, do and observe, - but, according to their works, do ye not, for they, say, and do not, perform. But they bind together heavy burdens, and lay upon men's shoulders, whereas, they, with their finger, are not willing to move them. read more.
But, all their works, they do, to be gazed at, by men, - for they make broad their amulets, and make large their fringes, And dearly love the first couch in the chief meals, and the first seats in the synagogues, And the salutations in the market-places, and to be called by men, Rabbi. But, ye, - do not be called Rabbi, - for, one, is your Teacher, and, all ye, are brethren; And, father, be none of you called, upon the earth, for, one, is your Father, the Heavenly; Neither be called leaders, for, your leader, is one, the Christ; And, the greatest of you, shall be to you, a minister; And, whoever shall exalt himself, shall be, abased, and, whoever shall abase himself, shall be, exalted, But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye are locking up the kingdom of the heavens before men, - for, ye, are not entering, neither, them who are entering, suffer ye to enter. Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because ye compass sea and dry land, to make one convert - and, when it is done, ye make him a son of gehenna, twofold more than ye.

And, whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is bound: Blind! for which is greater, The gift, or the altar that halloweth the gift? He therefore that hath sworn by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it; And, he that hath sworn by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth therein; And, he that hath sworn by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who sitteth thereupon. Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin, - and have dismissed the weightier matters of the law - the justice, the mercy, and the faith; whereas, these, it was binding, to do, and, those, not to, dismiss. Blind guides! Straining out the gnat, but, the camel, swallowing.

For, the seven, had her to wife. Jesus said unto them - Are ye not, for this cause, deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God? For, when, from among the dead, they rise, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like messengers in the heavens. But, as touching the dead, that they, do rise, - Have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying - I am the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob: - He is not a God of, dead, men, but of, living.

And, Jesus, seeing him, that, with intelligence he answered, said unto him - Not far, art thoufrom the kingdom of God! And, no one, any longer, was daring to, question, him. And Jesus, answering, was saying, as he taught in the temple - How say the Scribes that, the Christ, is, Son of David? David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, - The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet. David himself, calleth him, Lord: whence, then, is he, his own soul? And, the great multitude, was hearing him gladly.
