³³ For John the Baptist has come ^(A)eating no bread and ^(B)drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ ³⁴ The Son of Man has come ^(C)eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, ^(D)a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ ³⁵ Yet ^(E)wisdom is justified by all her children.”

23 Then Jesus ^(A)said to the crowds and to his disciples, ^2 (B)“The scribes and the Pharisees ^(C)sit on Moses' seat, ³ so do and observe whatever they tell you, ^(D)but not the works they do. ^(E)For they preach, but do not practice. ^4 (F)They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,^[a] and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. ^5 (G)They do all their deeds ^(H)to be seen by others. For they make ^(I)their phylacteries broad and ^(J)their fringes long, ⁶ and they ^(K)love the place of honor at feasts and ^(L)the best seats in the synagogues ⁷ and ^(M)greetings in ^(N)the marketplaces and being called ^(O)rabbi^[b] by others.
