Satire » Of jesus against hypocrites
Saying, Upon Moses' seat sat the scribes and Pharisees. Therefore all whatever they say to you to keep, keep and do; and according to their works do not, for they say and do not. For they bind loads heavy and difficult to carry, and put upon men's shoulders; and with their fingers will they not move them. read more.
And all their works do they, to be seen by men: and make broad their preservatives, and enlarge the border of their garments And love the first place at suppers, and the first seat in the assemblies, And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. And be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your guide, Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call not your father upon earth: for one is your Father, which in the heavens. Nor be ye called leaders, for one is your Leader, Christ. And the greater of you shall be your servant. And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whoever shall humble himself, shall be exalted. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye lock up the kingdom of the heavens before men: for ye come not in yourselves, neither those coming in, permit ye to come in. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for pretence, praying at great lengths; for this shall ye receive more distingnished judgment. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! for ye go about sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he should become, ye make him the son of hell, twofold more than you. Woe to you blind guides, saying, Whoever should swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever should swear by the gold of the temple, he is indebted! Foolish and blind; for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple consecrating the gold? And, Whoever should swear by the altar, it is nothing; and whoever should swear by the gift above it, he is indebted. Foolish and blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar, consecrating the gifts? Therefore, he having sworn by the altar, swears by it, and by all above it. And he having sworn by the temple, swears by it, and by him dwelling in it. And he having sworn by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him sitting above it. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye exact tenths and dill and cummin, and ye have left the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: these it was necessary to do, and not to let go those. Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture. O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed tombs, which without indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness. So also ye without truly appear just to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and deck the monuments of the just, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been their partakers in the blood of the prophets, Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets. And fill ye up yourselves the measure of your fathers. Serpents, generations of vipers, how would ye flee from the judgment of hell?
And all their works do they, to be seen by men: and make broad their preservatives, and enlarge the border of their garments And love the first place at suppers, and the first seat in the assemblies, And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. And be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your guide, Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call not your father upon earth: for one is your Father, which in the heavens. Nor be ye called leaders, for one is your Leader, Christ. And the greater of you shall be your servant. And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whoever shall humble himself, shall be exalted. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye lock up the kingdom of the heavens before men: for ye come not in yourselves, neither those coming in, permit ye to come in.

Woe to you blind guides, saying, Whoever should swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever should swear by the gold of the temple, he is indebted! Foolish and blind; for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple consecrating the gold? And, Whoever should swear by the altar, it is nothing; and whoever should swear by the gift above it, he is indebted. Foolish and blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar, consecrating the gifts? Therefore, he having sworn by the altar, swears by it, and by all above it. And he having sworn by the temple, swears by it, and by him dwelling in it. And he having sworn by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him sitting above it. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye exact tenths and dill and cummin, and ye have left the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: these it was necessary to do, and not to let go those.

O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed tombs, which without indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness. So also ye without truly appear just to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and deck the monuments of the just, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been their partakers in the blood of the prophets, Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets.

And they brought. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's. And Jesus having answered, said to them, Give back Caesar's things to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they wondered at him. And the Sadducees come to him, who say there is no rising up; and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if any one's brother die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. And the second took her, and died, and neither left he seed: and the third likewise. And the seven took her, and left no seed: and the woman died last of all. Therefore in the rising up, when they should rise, to which of them shall the woman be? for the seven had her a wife. And Jesus having answered, said to them, For this do ye not go astray, not knowing the writings, nor the power of God? For when they arise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers which in the heavens. And concerning the dead that they are raised: have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the bramble, how God spake to him, I the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob He is not God of the dead, but God of the living; ye therefore go astray greatly. And one of the scribes having come, having heard them seeking out together, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, Which is the first command of all? And Jesus answered him, That the first of all the commands, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole mind, and from thy whole strength: this the first command. And the second like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. No other command is greater than these. And the scribe said to him, Well, Teacher, in truth hast thou spoken: for one God is; and there is no other but he: And to love him from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength, and to love the neighbor as himself, is more than all the whole burnt offerrings, and the sacrifices. And Jesus having seen him that he answered understandingly, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And none dared to ask him any more. And Jesus having answered, said, teaching in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. Therefore David himself calls him Lord; and whence is he his son? And a great crowd heard him willingly. And he said to them in his teaching, Look from the scribes, wishing to walk in robes, and greetings in market-places, And first seats in synagogues, and first place at tables in first meals: They eating in widows' houses, and praying long for a pretext: these shall receive more abundant judgment.
And they brought. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.

There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. And the second took her, and died, and neither left he seed: and the third likewise.

And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and trencher; and your inside is full of plunder and wickedness. O foolish, has not he having made the outside, also made the inside? But of the things being, give alms; and, behold, all things are clean to you. read more.
But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe spearmint and rue and every plant, and ye pass by the judgment and love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left those. Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as concealed tombs, and men walking above know not. And a certain of the skilled in the law having answered, said, Teacher, speaking these things, and thou injurest us. And he said, And woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye load men with loads difficult to carry, and ye yourselves touch not one of the fingers to the load. Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel even to the blood of Zacharias perishing between the altar and house: yea, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation. Woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye came not in yourselves, and those coming in ye hindered. And he saying these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to hold on greatly, and to put questions to him of many things: Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
