Matthew 23:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in Moses’ seat;

³ therefore, whatever they bid you to observe, observe it and do it, but do not act according to their works, for they say and do not do it.

⁴ For they bind burdens that are heavy and grievous to bear and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
