Matthew 23:4-12

English Standard Version

^4 (A)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 (B)They do all their deeds ^(C)to be seen by others. For they make ^(D)their phylacteries broad and ^(E)their fringes long, ⁶ and they ^(F)love the place of honor at feasts and ^(G)the best seats in the synagogues ⁷ and ^(H)greetings in ^(I)the marketplaces and being called ^(J)rabbi^[b] by others. ^8 (K)But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are ^(L)all brothers.^{[c] 9 (M)}And call no man your father on earth, for ^(N)you have one Father, who is in heaven. ¹⁰ Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, ^(O)the Christ. ^11 (P)The greatest among you shall be your servant. ^12 (Q)Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
