Matthew 23:4-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
4
And they tie up heavy burdens and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with
so much as
their finger.
5
And they do all their deeds to be noticed by
other
people; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels
of their garments.
6
And they love the place of honor at banquets, and the seats of honor in the synagogues,
7
and personal greetings in the marketplaces, and being called Rabbi by the people.
8
But as for you, do not be called Rabbi; for
only
One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers
and sisters.
9
And do not call
anyone
on earth your father; for
only
One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
10
And do not be called leaders; for
only
One is your Leader,
that is,
Christ.
11
But the greatest of you shall be your servant.
12
Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
King James Version
Chapter 23
4
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.
5
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
4
They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them.
5
They do everything to be seen by others: They enlarge their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
6
They love the place of honor at banquets, the front seats in the synagogues,
7
greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people.
8
"But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ because you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters.
9
Do not call anyone on earth your father, because you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10
You are not to be called instructors either, because you have one Instructor, the Messiah.
11
The greatest among you will be your servant.
12
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
New Living Translation
Chapter 23
4
They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.
5
Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels.
6
And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues.
7
They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi.’
8
Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters.
9
And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your Father.
10
And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah.
11
The greatest among you must be a servant.
12
But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
