* Then spake Jesus to the multitude , and to his disciples , * Saying , The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses ' seat : * All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe , that observe and do ; but do not ye after their works : for they say , and do not . * For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne , and lay them on men 's shoulders ; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers . * But all their works they do for to be seen of men : they make broad their phylacteries , and enlarge the borders of their garments , * And love the uppermost rooms at feasts , and the chief seats in the synagogues , * And greetings in the markets , and to be called of men , Rabbi , Rabbi . * But be not ye called Rabbi : for one is your Master , even Christ ; and all ye are brethren . * And call no man your father upon the earth : for one is your Father , which is in heaven . * Neither be ye called masters : for one is your Master , even Christ . * But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant . * And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased ; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted .
