Ang Katuruan tungkol sa Pagpapakumbaba(A)

23 Pagkatapos ay sinabi ni Jesus sa mga tao at sa kanyang mga alagad, 2 “Ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at ang mga Pariseo ang kinikilalang tagapagpaliwanag ng Kautusan ni Moises.[a] 3 Kaya't gawin ninyo ang itinuturo nila at sundin ang kanilang iniuutos, ngunit huwag ninyong tularan ang kanilang ginagawa sapagkat hindi nila isinasagawa ang kanilang ipinapangaral. 4 Nagpapataw sila ng mabibigat na pasanin sa mga tao, ngunit ni daliri ay ayaw nilang igalaw upang tumulong sa pagpasan ng mga iyon. 5 Pawang(B) pakitang-tao ang kanilang mga gawa. Nilalaparan nila ang mga lalagyan ng talata sa kanilang noo at braso, at hinahabaan ang palawit sa laylayan ng kanilang mga damit.[b] 6 Ang nais nila ay ang mga upuang pandangal sa mga handaan at ang mga pangunahing upuan sa sinagoga. 7 Gustung-gusto nilang binabati sila sa mga palengke, at tawaging ‘guro.’ 8 Ngunit, huwag kayong patawag na ‘guro,’ sapagkat iisa ang inyong Guro at kayong lahat ay magkakapatid. 9 Huwag ninyong tawaging ama ang sinumang tao sa lupa sapagkat iisa ang inyong Ama, ang Ama na nasa langit. 10 Huwag kayong patawag na tagapagturo, sapagkat iisa ang inyong tagapagturo, ang Cristo. 11 Ang(C) pinakadakila sa inyo ay magiging lingkod ninyo. 12 Ang(D) nagmamataas ay ibababa, at ang nagpapakumbaba ay itataas.”

Tinuligsa ni Jesus ang mga Tagapagturo ng Kautusan at ang mga Pariseo(E)

13 “Kahabag-habag kayo, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo! Mga mapagkunwari! Hinahadlangan ninyo ang mga tao upang hindi sila makapasok sa kaharian ng langit. Hindi na nga kayo pumapasok, hinahadlangan pa ninyo ang mga nais pumasok! [14 Kahabag-habag kayo, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo! Mga mapagkunwari! Inuubos ninyo ang kabuhayan ng mga biyuda at ang idinadahilan ninyo'y ang pagdarasal ng mahahaba! Dahil dito'y lalo pang bibigat ang parusa sa inyo!][c]

15 “Kahabag-habag kayo, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo! Mga mapagkunwari! Nilalakbay ninyo ang karagatan at ginagalugad ang buong daigdig makahikayat lamang kayo ng kahit isang Hentil sa pananampalatayang Judio. Ngunit kapag ito'y nahikayat na, ginagawa ninyo siyang masahol pa at lalong dapat parusahan sa impiyerno kaysa sa inyo.

16 “Kahabag-habag kayo, mga bulag na taga-akay! Itinuturo ninyo na kung gagamitin ninuman ang Templo sa panunumpa, walang halaga ito. Ngunit kung ang gagamitin niya sa panunumpa ay ang ginto ng Templo, dapat niyang tuparin ang kanyang sumpa. 17 Mga bulag! Mga hangal! Alin ba ang mas mahalaga, ang ginto, o ang Templong nagpapabanal sa ginto? 18 Sinasabi rin ninyo na kung gagamitin ninuman ang dambana sa panunumpa, walang halaga ito. Ngunit kung ang gagamitin niya ay ang handog na nasa dambana, dapat niyang tuparin ang kanyang sumpa. 19 Mga bulag! Alin ba ang mas mahalaga, ang handog o ang dambana na nagpapabanal sa handog? 20 Kaya nga, kapag nanumpa ang sinuman na saksi ang dambana, ginagawa niyang saksi ito at ang lahat ng handog dito. 21 Kapag nanumpa ang sinuman na saksi niya ang Templo, ginagawa niyang saksi ito at ang Diyos na nasa Templo. 22 At(F) kapag nanumpa ang sinuman na saksi niya ang langit, ginagawa niyang saksi ang trono ng Diyos at ang Diyos na nakaupo doon.

23 “Kahabag-habag(G) kayo, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo! Mga mapagkunwari! Nagbibigay kayo ng ikasampung bahagi ng maliliit na halamang tulad ng yerbabuena, ruda at linga ngunit kinakaligtaan naman ninyong isagawa ang mas mahahalagang turo sa Kautusan: ang katarungan, ang pagkahabag, at ang katapatan. Dapat ninyong gawin ang mga ito nang hindi kinakaligtaan ang ibang utos. 24 Mga bulag na taga-akay! Sinasala ninyo ang kulisap sa inyong inumin, ngunit nilulunok naman ninyo ang kamelyo!

25 “Kahabag-habag kayo, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo! Mga mapagkunwari! Nililinis ninyo ang labas ng tasa at pinggan, ngunit ang mga iyon ay puno ng kasakiman at pagiging makasarili. 26 Bulag na Pariseo! Linisin mo muna ang nasa loob ng tasa [at pinggan][d] at magiging malinis din ang labas nito!

27 “Kahabag-habag(H) kayo, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo! Mga mapagkunwari! Ang katulad ninyo'y mga libingang pinaputi, magaganda sa labas, ngunit ang loob ay bulok at puno ng kalansay. 28 Ganyang-ganyan kayo! Sa paningin ng tao'y mabubuti, ngunit ang totoo'y punung-puno kayo ng pagkukunwari at kasamaan.”

Paparusahan ang mga Mapagkunwari(I)

29 “Kahabag-habag kayo, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo! Mga mapagkunwari! Nagpapagawa kayo ng libingan para sa mga propeta, at pinapaganda ang mga puntod ng mga taong namuhay nang matuwid. 30 Sinasabi pa ninyo, ‘Kung kami sana'y nabuhay sa kapanahunan ng aming mga ninuno, hindi kami makikiisa sa pagpatay sa mga propeta.’ 31 Sa sinabi ninyong iyan, inaamin ninyong kayo'y mga anak ng mga pumaslang sa mga propeta! 32 Sige! Tapusin ninyo ang sinimulan ng inyong mga ninuno! 33 Mga(J) ahas! Lahi ng mga ulupong! Hindi kayo makakaiwas na maparusahan sa impiyerno! 34 Kaya nga, magsusugo ako sa inyo ng mga propeta, mga matatalinong tao at mga tagapagturo! Papatayin ninyo ang ilan sa kanila, at ang iba'y ipapako sa krus. Ang iba'y hahagupitin ninyo sa inyong mga sinagoga at uusigin sa bayan-bayan. 35 Kaya(K) nga, paparusahan kayo dahil sa pagkamatay ng lahat ng taong pinatay na walang sala, magmula kay Abel hanggang kay Zacarias na anak ni Baraquias. Pinaslang ninyo si Zacarias sa pagitan ng Templo at ng dambanang sunugan ng mga handog. 36 Tandaan ninyo: ang parusa sa lahat ng mga pagpatay na iyon ay babagsak sa salinlahing ito.”

Ang Pag-ibig ni Jesus sa Jerusalem(L)

37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Pinapatay mo ang mga propeta at binabato ang mga isinugo sa iyo! Ilang ulit kong sinikap na kupkupin ang iyong mga anak, kung paano tinitipon ng isang inahin ang kanyang mga sisiw sa ilalim ng kanyang mga pakpak, ngunit ayaw ninyo. 38 Kaya't(M) ang inyong Templo ay iiwan na lubusang pinabayaan. 39 Sinasabi(N) ko sa inyo, hindi na ninyo ako makikita hanggang dumating ang oras na sabihin ninyo, ‘Pinagpala ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon!’”

New King James Version

Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees(A)

23 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying: (B)“The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 Therefore whatever they tell you [a]to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for (C)they say, and do not do. 4 (D)For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, 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 to (E)be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. 6 (F)They love the [b]best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ 8 (G)But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your [c]Teacher, [d]the Christ, and you are all brethren. 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; (H)for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. 11 But (I)he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 (J)And whoever exalts himself will be [e]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be [f]exalted.

13 “But (K)woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 [g]Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (L)For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of [h]hell as yourselves.

16 “Woe to you, (M)blind guides, who say, (N)‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold (O)or the temple that [i]sanctifies the gold? 18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift (P)or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore he who [j]swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by (Q)Him who [k]dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by (R)the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (S)For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and (T)have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (U)For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and [l]self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (V)For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29 (W)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and [m]adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’

31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that (X)you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 (Y)Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, (Z)brood[n] of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 (AA)Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: (AB)some of them you will kill and crucify, and (AC)some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 (AD)that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, (AE)from the blood of righteous Abel to (AF)the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem(AG)

37 (AH)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets (AI)and stones those who are sent to her! How often (AJ)I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks (AK)under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, (AL)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

Seven Woes to the Scribes and Pharisees

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. 8 (P)But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are (Q)all brothers.[c] 9 (R)And call no man your father on earth, for (S)you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, (T)the Christ. 11 (U)The greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 (V)Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

13 “But woe (W)to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you (X)shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you (Y)neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.[d] 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single (Z)proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a (AA)child of (AB)hell[e] as yourselves.

16 “Woe to (AC)you, (AD)blind guides, who say, (AE)‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or (AF)the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by (AG)the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19 You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or (AH)the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by (AI)him who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by (AJ)heaven swears by (AK)the throne of God and by (AL)him who sits upon it.

23 (AM)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For (AN)you tithe mint and dill and (AO)cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: (AP)justice and mercy and faithfulness. (AQ)These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing (AR)a camel!

25 (AS)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For (AT)you clean the outside of (AU)the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of (AV)greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of (AW)the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.

27 (AX)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like (AY)whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and (AZ)all uncleanness. 28 So you also (BA)outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of (BB)hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29 (BC)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 Thus you witness against yourselves that you are (BD)sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 (BE)Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, (BF)you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to (BG)hell? 34 (BH)Therefore (BI)I send you (BJ)prophets and wise men and (BK)scribes, (BL)some of whom you will kill and crucify, and (BM)some you will (BN)flog in your synagogues and (BO)persecute from town to town, 35 so that on you may come all (BP)the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous (BQ)Abel to the blood of (BR)Zechariah the son of Barachiah,[f] whom you murdered between (BS)the sanctuary and (BT)the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, (BU)all these things will come upon this generation.

Lament over Jerusalem

37 (BV)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that (BW)kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have (BX)gathered (BY)your children together (BZ)as a hen gathers her brood (CA)under her wings, and (CB)you were not willing! 38 See, (CC)your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, (CD)‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
