Matthew chapter 23

Bible Version
Book
Chapter
1
ThenG5119 spokeG2980 JesusG2424 to the multitude,G3793 and to his disciples,G3101
2
Saying G3004The scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 sitG2523 in Moses'G3475 seat:G2515
3
AllG3956 thereforeG3767 whateverG3745 G302 they bidG2036 you observe,G5083 that observeG5083 and do;G4160 but doG4160 not you afterG2596 their works:G2041 for they say,G3004 and doG4160 not.
4
For they bindG1195 heavyG926 burdensG5413 and grievousG1418 to be borne,G1418 and layG2007 them onG1909 men'sG444 shoulders;G5606 but they themselves willG2309 not moveG2795 them with one of their fingers.G1147
5
But allG3956 their worksG2041 they doG4160 for to be seenG2300 of men:G444 they makeG4115 broadG4115 their phylacteries,G5440 and enlargeG3170 the bordersG2899 of their garments,G2440
6
And loveG5368 the uppermostG4411 roomsG4411 atG1722 feasts,G1173 and the chiefG4410 seatsG4410 in the synagogues,G4864
7
And greetingsG783 in the markets,G58 and to be calledG2564 of men,G444 Rabbi,G4461 Rabbi.G4461
8
But be not you calledG2564 Rabbi:G4461 for oneG1520 is yourG5216 Master,G2519 even Christ;G5547 and allG3956 you are brothers.G80
9
And callG2564 noG3361 man yourG5216 fatherG3962 on the earth:G1093 for oneG1520 is yourG5216 Father,G3962 whichG3588 is in heaven.G3772
10
NeitherG3366 be you calledG2564 masters:G2519 for oneG1520 is yourG5216 Master,G2519 even Christ.G5547
11
But he that is greatestG3187 among you shall be yourG5216 servant.G1249
12
And whoeverG3748 shall exaltG5312 himselfG1438 shall be abased;G5013 and he that shall humbleG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exalted.G5312
13
But woeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and Pharisees,G5330 hypocrites!G5273 for you shutG2808 up the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 againstG1715 men:G444 for you neitherG3761 goG1525 in yourselves, neitherG3756 sufferG863 you them that are enteringG1525 to goG1525 in.
14
WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and Pharisees,G5330 hypocrites!G5273 for you devourG2719 widows'G5503 houses,G3614 and for a pretenseG4392 makeG4336 longG3117 prayer:G4336 thereforeG1223 G5124 you shall receiveG2983 the greaterG4055 damnation.G2917
15
WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and Pharisees,G5330 hypocrites!G5273 for you compassG4013 seaG2281 and landG3584 to makeG4160 oneG1520 proselyte,G4339 and whenG3752 he is made,G1096 you makeG4160 him twofoldG1366 more the childG5207 of hellG1067 than yourselves.G5216
16
WoeG3759 to you, you blindG5185 guides,G3595 whichG3588 say,G3004 WhoeverG3739 G302 shall swearG3660 by the temple,G3485 it is nothing;G3762 but whoeverG3739 G302 shall swearG3660 by the goldG5557 of the temple,G3485 he is a debtor!G3784
17
You foolsG3474 and blind:G5185 for whetherG5101 is greater,G3187 the gold,G5557 orG2228 the templeG3485 that sanctifiesG37 the gold?G5557
18
And, WhoeverG3739 G1437 shall swearG3660 by the altar,G2379 it is nothing;G3762 but whoeverG3739 G302 swearsG3660 by the giftG1435 that is on it, he is guilty.G3784
19
You foolsG3474 and blind:G5185 for whetherG5101 is greater,G3187 the gift,G1435 orG2228 the altarG2379 that sanctifiesG37 the gift?G1435
20
WhoeverG3588 thereforeG3767 shall swearG3660 by the altar,G2379 swearsG3660 by it, and by allG3956 things thereon.G1883 G846
21
And whoeverG3588 shall swearG3660 by the temple,G3485 swearsG3660 by it, and by him that dwellsG2730 therein.
22
And he that shall swearG3660 by heaven,G3772 swearsG3660 by the throneG2362 of God,G2316 and by him that sitsG2521 thereon.G1883 G846
23
WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and Pharisees,G5330 hypocrites!G5273 for you payG586 titheG586 of mintG2238 and aniseG432 and cummin,G2951 and have omittedG863 the weightierG926 matters of the law,G3551 judgment,G2920 mercy,G1656 and faith:G4102 theseG5023 oughtG1163 you to have done,G4160 and not to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undone.
24
You blindG5185 guides,G3595 whichG3588 strainG1368 atG1368 a gnat,G2971 and swallowG2666 a camel.G2574
25
WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and Pharisees,G5330 hypocrites!G5273 for you makeG2511 cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 and of the platter,G3953 but withinG2081 they are fullG1073 of extortionG724 and excess.G192
26
You blindG5185 Pharisee,G5330 cleanseG2511 firstG4412 that whichG3588 is withinG1787 the cupG4221 and platter,G3953 that the outsideG1622 of them may be cleanG2513 also.G2532
27
WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and Pharisees,G5330 hypocrites!G5273 for you are likeG3945 to white washedG2867 sepulchers,G5028 whichG3748 indeedG3303 appearG5316 beautifulG5611 outward,G1855 but are withinG2081 fullG1073 of deadG3498 men's bones,G3747 and of allG3956 uncleanness.G167
28
Even soG3779 you alsoG2532 outwardlyG1855 appearG5316 righteousG1342 to men,G444 but withinG2081 you are fullG3324 of hypocrisyG5272 and iniquity.G458
29
WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and Pharisees,G5330 hypocrites!G5273 becauseG3754 you buildG3618 the tombsG5028 of the prophets,G4396 and garnishG2885 the sepulchersG3419 of the righteous,G1342
30
And say,G3004 IfG1487 we had beenG2258 in the daysG2250 of our fathers,G3962 we would not have beenG2258 partakersG2844 with them in the bloodG129 of the prophets.G4396
31
WhyG5620 you be witnessesG3140 to yourselves,G1438 that you are the childrenG5207 of them which killedG5407 the prophets.G4396
32
FillG4137 you up thenG2532 the measureG3358 of yourG5216 fathers.G3962
33
You serpents,G3789 you generationG1081 of vipers,G2191 howG4459 can you escapeG5343 G575 the damnationG2920 of hell?G1067
34
Why,G1223 G5124 behold,G2400 I sendG649 to you prophets,G4396 and wiseG4680 men, and scribes:G1122 and some of them you shall killG615 and crucify;G4717 and some of them shall you whipG3146 in yourG5216 synagogues,G4864 and persecuteG1377 them from cityG4172 to city:G4172
35
That on you may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 on the earth,G1093 from the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 to the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of Barachias,G914 whomG3739 you slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 and the altar.G2379
36
TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, AllG3956 theseG5023 things shall comeG2240 on thisG5026 generation.G1074
37
O Jerusalem,G2419 Jerusalem,G2419 you that killG615 the prophets,G4396 and stoneG3036 them which are sentG649 to you, how oftenG4212 wouldG2309 I have gatheredG1996 your childrenG5043 together,G1996 evenG3739 G5158 as a henG3733 gathersG1996 her chickensG3556 underG5259 her wings,G4420 and you wouldG2309 not!
38
Behold,G2400 yourG5216 houseG3624 is leftG863 to you desolate.G2048
39
For I sayG3004 to you, You shall not seeG1492 me from now on,G575 G737 tillG2193 you shall say,G2036 BlessedG2127 is he that comesG2064 in the nameG3686 of the Lord.G2962
