Matthieu 23
Segond 21
23 Alors Jésus s'adressa à la foule et à ses disciples 2 en disant: «Les spécialistes de la loi et les pharisiens se sont faits les interprètes de Moïse. 3 Tout ce qu'ils vous disent [de respecter], faites-le donc et respectez-le, mais n'agissez pas comme eux, car ils disent et ne font pas. 4 Ils lient des fardeaux pesants et les mettent sur les épaules des hommes, mais ils ne veulent pas les remuer du doigt. 5 Toutes leurs actions, ils les font pour se faire remarquer des hommes. Ainsi, ils portent de grands phylactères[a] et allongent les franges[b] [de leurs vêtements]. 6 Ils aiment occuper la meilleure place dans les festins et les sièges d'honneur dans les synagogues. 7 Ils aiment être salués sur les places publiques et être appelés par les hommes ‘Maître, [Maître]’. 8 Mais vous, ne vous faites pas appeler maîtres, car un seul est votre maître, [c'est le Christ,] et vous êtes tous frères. 9 N'appelez personne sur la terre votre père, car un seul est votre Père, c'est celui qui est au ciel. 10 Ne vous faites pas appeler chefs, car un seul est votre chef, c'est le Christ. 11 Le plus grand parmi vous sera votre serviteur. 12 Celui qui s'élèvera sera abaissé et celui qui s'abaissera sera élevé.
13 »Malheur à vous, spécialistes de la loi et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous fermez aux hommes l'accès au royaume des cieux; vous n'y entrez pas vous-mêmes et vous ne laissez pas entrer ceux qui le voudraient.
14 »[Malheur à vous, spécialistes de la loi et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous dépouillez les veuves de leurs biens tout en faisant pour l'apparence de longues prières; à cause de cela, vous serez jugés plus sévèrement.]
15 »Malheur à vous, spécialistes de la loi et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous parcourez la mer et la terre pour faire un converti et, quand il l'est devenu, vous en faites un fils de l'enfer deux fois pire que vous.
16 »Malheur à vous, conducteurs aveugles! Vous dites: ‘Si quelqu'un jure par le temple, cela ne compte pas, mais si quelqu'un jure par l'or du temple, il est engagé.’ 17 Espèces de fous aveugles! Lequel est le plus grand: l'or ou le temple qui consacre l'or? 18 Vous dites encore: ‘Si quelqu'un jure par l'autel, cela ne compte pas, mais si quelqu'un jure par l'offrande qui est sur l'autel, il est engagé.’ 19 Espèces de fous aveugles! Lequel est le plus grand: l'offrande ou l'autel qui consacre l'offrande? 20 Celui qui jure par l'autel jure par l'autel et par tout ce qui est dessus, 21 celui qui jure par le temple jure par le temple et par celui qui l'habite, 22 et celui qui jure par le ciel jure par le trône de Dieu et par celui qui y est assis.
23 »Malheur à vous, spécialistes de la loi et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous versez la dîme de la menthe, de l'aneth et du cumin et que vous laissez ce qu'il y a de plus important dans la loi: la justice, la bonté et la fidélité. C'est cela qu'il fallait pratiquer, sans négliger le reste. 24 Conducteurs aveugles! Vous filtrez vos boissons pour éliminer le moucheron, mais vous avalez le chameau.
25 »Malheur à vous, spécialistes de la loi et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous nettoyez l'extérieur de la coupe et du plat, alors qu'à l'intérieur ils sont pleins du produit de vos vols et de vos excès. 26 Pharisien aveugle! Nettoie d'abord l'intérieur de la coupe et du plat, afin que l'extérieur aussi devienne pur.
27 »Malheur à vous, spécialistes de la loi et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous ressemblez à des tombeaux blanchis qui paraissent beaux de l’extérieur et qui, à l’intérieur, sont pleins d'ossements de morts et de toutes sortes d'impuretés. 28 Vous de même, de l’extérieur, vous paraissez justes aux hommes, mais à l’intérieur vous êtes pleins d'hypocrisie et d'injustice.
29 »Malheur à vous, spécialistes de la loi et pharisiens hypocrites, parce que vous construisez les tombeaux des prophètes et que vous décorez les tombes des justes, 30 et vous dites: ‘Si nous avions vécu à l’époque de nos ancêtres, nous ne nous serions pas joints à eux pour verser le sang des prophètes.’ 31 Vous témoignez ainsi contre vous-mêmes que vous êtes les descendants de ceux qui ont tué les prophètes. 32 Portez donc à son comble la mesure de vos ancêtres! 33 Serpents, race de vipères! Comment échapperez-vous au jugement de l'enfer? 34 C'est pourquoi, je vous envoie des prophètes, des sages et des spécialistes de la loi. Vous tuerez et crucifierez les uns, vous fouetterez les autres dans vos synagogues et vous les persécuterez de ville en ville, 35 afin que retombe sur vous tout le sang innocent versé sur la terre, depuis le sang d'Abel le juste jusqu'au sang de Zacharie, fils de Bérékia, que vous avez tué entre le temple et l'autel. 36 En vérité je vous le dis, tout cela retombera sur cette génération.
37 »Jérusalem, Jérusalem, toi qui tues les prophètes et qui lapides ceux qui te sont envoyés! Combien de fois j’ai voulu rassembler tes enfants, comme une poule rassemble ses poussins sous ses ailes, et vous ne l'avez pas voulu! 38 Voici que votre maison vous sera laissée déserte 39 car, je vous le dis, vous ne me verrez plus désormais, jusqu'à ce que vous disiez: ‘Béni soit celui qui vient au nom du Seigneur!’[c]»

Matthæus 23
Dette er Biblen på dansk
23 Da talte Jesus til Skarerne og til sine Disciple og sagde: 2 På Mose Stol sidde de skriftkloge og Farisæerne. 3 Gører og holder derfor alt, hvad de sige eder; men gører ikke efter deres Gerninger; thi de sige det vel, men gøre det ikke. 4 Men de binde svare Byrder, vanskelige at bære, og lægge dem på Menneskenes Skuldre;men selv ville de ikke bevæge dem med en Finger. 5 Men de gøre alle deres Gerninger for at beskues af Menneskene; thi de gøre deres Bederemme brede og Kvasterne på deres Klæder store. 6 Og de ville gerne sidde øverst til Bords ved Måltiderne og på de fornemste Pladser i Synagogerne 7 og lade sig hilse på Torvene og kaldes Rabbi af Menneskene. 8 Men I skulle ikke lade eder kalde Rabbi; thi een er eders Mester, men I ere alle Brødre. 9 Og I skulle ikke kalde nogen på Jorden eders Fader; thi een er eders Fader, han, som er i Himlene. 10 Ej heller skulle I lade eder kalde Vejledere; thi een er eders Vejleder, Kristus. 11 Men den største iblandt eder skal være eders Tjener. 12 Men den, som ophøjer sig selv, skal fornedres, og den, som fornedrer sig selv, skal ophøjes. 13 Men ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I tillukke Himmeriges Rige for Menneskene; thi I gå ikke derind, og dem, som ville gå ind, tillade I det ikke. 14 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I opæde Enkers Huse og bede på Skrømt længe; derfor skulle I få des hårdere Dom. 15 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I drage om til Vands og til Lands for at vinde en eneste Tilhænger; og når han er bleven det, gøre I ham til et Helvedes Barn, dobbelt så slemt, som I selv ere. 16 Ve eder, I blinde Vejledere! I, som sige: Den, som sværger ved Templet, det er intet; men den, som sværger ved Guldet i Templet, han er forpligtet. 17 I Dårer og blinde! hvilket er da størst? Guldet eller Templet, som helliger Guldet? 18 Fremdeles: Den, som sværger ved Alteret, det er intet; men den, som sværger ved Gaven derpå, han er forpligtet. 19 I Dårer og blinde! hvilket er da størst? Gaven eller Alteret, som helliger Gaven? 20 Derfor, den, som sværger ved Alteret, sværger ved det og ved alt det, som er derpå. 21 Og den, som sværger ved Templet, sværger ved det og ved ham, som bor deri. 22 Og den, som sværger ved Himmelen, sværger ved Guds Trone og ved ham, som sidder på den. 23 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I give Tiende af Mynte og Dild og Kommen og have forsømt de Ting i Loven, der have større Vægt, Retten og Barmhjertigheden og Troskaben. Disse Ting burde man gøre og ikke forsømme hine. 24 I blinde Vejledere, I, som si Myggen af, men nedsluge Kamelen! 25 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I rense det udvendige af Bægeret og Fadet; men indvendigt ere de fulde af Rov og Umættelighed. 26 Du blinde Farisæer! rens først det indvendige af Bægeret og Fadet, for at også det udvendige af dem kan blive rent. 27 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I ere ligesom kalkede Grave, der jo synes dejlige udvendigt,men indvendigt ere fulde af døde Ben og al Urenhed. 28 Således synes også I vel udvortes retfærdige for Menneskene; men indvortes ere I fulde af Hykleri og Lovløshed. 29 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I bygge Profeternes Grave og pryde de retfærdiges Gravsteder og sige: 30 Havde vi været til i vore Fædres Dage, da havde vi ikke været delagtige med dem i Profeternes Blod. 31 Altså give I eder selv det Vidnesbyrd, at I ere Sønner af dem, som have ihjelslået Profeterne. 32 Så gører da også I eders Fædres Mål fuldt! 33 I Slanger! I Øgleunger! hvorledes kunne I undfly Helvedes Dom?
34 Derfor se, jeg sender til eder Profeter og vise og skriftkloge; nogle af dem skulle I slå ihjel og korsfæste, og nogle af dem skulle I hudstryge i, eders Synagoger og forfølge fra Stad til Stad, 35 for at alt det retfærdige Blod skal komme over eder, som er udgydt på Jorden, fra den retfærdige Abels Blod indtil Sakarias's, Barakias's Søns,Blod, hvem I sloge ihjel imellem Templet og Alteret. 36 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, alt dette skal komme over denne Slægt. 37 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! som ihjelslår Profeterne og stener dem, som ere sendte til dig, hvor ofte vilde jeg samle dine Børn, ligesom en Høne samler sine Kyllinger under Vingerne! Og I vilde ikke. 38 Se, eders Hus lades eder øde! 39 Thi jeg siger eder: I skulle ingenlunde se mig fra nu af, indtil I sige: Velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn!"
Matthew 23
New International Version
A Warning Against Hypocrisy(A)(B)
23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law(C) and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.(D)
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see:(E) They make their phylacteries[a](F) wide and the tassels on their garments(G) long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;(H) 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.(I)
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father,(J) and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant.(K) 12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.(L)
Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees
13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!(M) You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.(N) [14] [b]
15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert,(O) and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell(P) as you are.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides!(Q) You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’(R) 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?(S) 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?(T) 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells(U) in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.(V)
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth(W) of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.(X) You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides!(Y) You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish,(Z) but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.(AA) 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,(AB) which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets(AC) and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.(AD) 32 Go ahead, then, and complete(AE) what your ancestors started!(AF)
33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers!(AG) How will you escape being condemned to hell?(AH) 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify;(AI) others you will flog in your synagogues(AJ) and pursue from town to town.(AK) 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel(AL) to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah,(AM) whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.(AN) 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.(AO)
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,(AP) how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(AQ) and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(AR) 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[c]”(AS)

King James Version
23 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, 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 for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
