For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay
them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger
to help them.
Mat 23:5
But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their
phylacteries broad, enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Mat 23:6
and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the
synagogues,
Mat 23:7
the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi, Rabbi'
by men.
Mat 23:8
But don't you be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your teacher, the Christ,
and all of you are brothers.
Mat 23:9
Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who
is in heaven.

shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don't enter in
yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
Mat 23:15

make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
Mat 23:16
"Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the

sanctifies the gold?
Mat 23:18
'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by
the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'

on it.
Mat 23:21
He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living
in it.

sits on it.
Mat 23:23
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe

platter, that its outside may become clean also.
Mat 23:27
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like
whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are
full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you
are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Mat 23:29
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build
the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
Mat 23:30
and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn't
have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'

who killed the prophets.

scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
Mat 23:35
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from
the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of
Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
Mat 23:36
Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this
generation.
Mat 23:37
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those
who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children
together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you
would not!

Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Mat 23:39
For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say,
'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!' "
