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.

But the things going forth out of the mouth come from the heart, and these pollute the man. For from the heart come forth evil reflections, slaughters, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, defamations: These are the things polluting a man: but to eat with unwashed hands pollutes not a man.
