Jesus Warms against the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees
1. Then Jesus spoke tp the crowds and to his disciples.
2. "The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees are the authorized interpreters of Moses'Law.
3. So you must obey and follow everything they tell you to do; do not, however, imitate their actions, because they don't practice what they preach.
4. They tie onto people's backs olads thay are heavy and hard to carry, yet they aren't silling even to lift a finger to help then carry those loads.
5. They do everything so that people will see them. Look at the straps with scripture verses on them which they wear on their foreheads and arms, and notice how large they are! Notice also how long are the tassels on their cloaks!"
6. They love the best places at feasts and the reserved seats in the synagogues;
7. they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to have people call them 'Teacher.'
8. You must not be called 'Teacher,' because you ar all brothers of one another and have only one Teacher.
9. And you must not call anyone her on earth 'Father,' because you have only the one Father in heaven.
10. Nor should you be called 'Leader,' because your one and only leader is the Messiah.
11. The greatest one among you must be your servant.
12. Whoever makes himself great will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be made great.
