Matthew 23:3-7
Christian Standard Bible
3 Therefore do whatever they tell you, and observe it. But don’t do what they do, because they don’t practice what they teach.(A) 4 They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry[a] and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them.(B) 5 They do everything[b] to be seen by others: They enlarge their phylacteries(C) and lengthen their tassels.[c](D) 6 They love the place of honor at banquets, the front seats in the synagogues,(E) 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people.
