Wisdom & Truth Verses

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any {man} from that day forth ask him any more {questions}.

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, {that} observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay {them} on men's shoulders; but they {themselves} will not move them with one of their fingers.

But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, {phylacteries: pieces of parchment containing sentences of the law}

And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, {even} Christ; and all ye are brethren.

Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, {even} Christ.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
