23:8 `And ye -- ye may not be called Rabbi, for one is your director -- the Christ, and all ye are brethren;
23:9 and ye may not call [any] your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens,
23:10 nor may ye be called directors, for one is your director -- the Christ.
23:11 And the greater of you shall be your ministrant,
23:12 and whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the reign of the heavens before men, for ye do not go in, nor those going in do ye suffer to enter.
23:15 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye go round the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen -- ye make him a son of gehenna twofold more than yourselves.
23:18 `And, whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever may swear by the gift that is upon it -- is debtor!
23:19 Fools and blind! for which [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that is sanctifying the gift?
23:20 `He therefore who did swear by the altar, doth swear by it, and by all things on it;
23:21 and he who did swear by the sanctuary, doth swear by it, and by Him who is dwelling in it;
23:22 and he who did swear by the heaven, doth swear by the throne of God, and by Him who is sitting upon it.
23:23 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law -- the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved [you] to do, and those not to neglect.
23:24 `Blind guides! who are straining out the gnat, and the camel are swallowing.
23:25 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of rapine and incontinence.
23:26 `Blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them also may become clean.
23:27 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye are like to whitewashed sepulchres, which outwardly indeed do appear beautiful, and within are full of bones of dead men, and of all uncleanness;
23:34 `Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city;
23:36 verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
23:37 `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will.
