20170314 Gospel Mt 23:1-12

Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry and lay them on people's shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them. All their works are performed to be seen. They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation 'Rabbi.' As for you, do not be called 'Rabbi.' You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers. Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven. Do not be called 'Master'; you have but one master, the Christ. The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

Pamalandong:

Tagsaway ni Jesus an mga scribe sanan Pharisee tungod sa ila pagka-mapa-aron-ingnon sanan sa katig’a nan ila mga kasing-kasing ugsa na tagwarningan Nija an mga disciple na dili  sun’dan an mga hinimoan nan mga scribe sanan Pharisee.

Nagpatuo an mga scribe sanan Pharisee sa mga katawhan na balaanon sila, na nahibayo sila nan tanan mga balaod base sa Bibliya.

Tagsultihan ni Jesus an mga disciple na kinahanglan magpa-mapahi’ubsanon sila, na i-admiter nila an ila pagka-makasasaya, na kinahanglan nila nan pasaylo gikan kan God sanan sa mga ila isig’katawo.

Hinaot unta na kita kuman na panahon dili unta maparehas sa mga tawo kaniadto na mga self-righteous sanan waya’y luna dila para mangajo nan pasaylo sa ila mga kasay’anan.
