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."
