THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST. MATTHEW
CHAPTER %.

! Pharisees sit in Moses seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid
YOU observe, that observe and do
hut do not We after their works: for
they say, and do not.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and
grieyous to be borne, and lay them on
mems 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.
s But be not ye called Rabbi: for
one is your Master, even Christ; and
all we are brethren.
8 And call no man your father upon
the earth: for one is your Father,
which is in heaven.
10 Neither be We called masters
for one is your Master, even Christ.
IL But he that is greatest among
| 80, ehoIl ha yOur caryant
II And whatsoever shall eXalt him
self shall be abased; and he that shall
humble himself shall be exalted.
Is But woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocritesl for ye shut up
the kingdom of heaven against men:
| for We neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer We them that are en-
tering to go in.
ii Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye deYOur
widows houses, and for Il pretence
make long prayer: therefore ye shall
receive the greater damnatiOn.
Is Woe unto you, scribeS and
Ptarisees, hypocrites! for ye compass
sea and land to make one prOselyte,
; and when he is made, We make him
| twofOld more the child of hell than
yourselves.
l6 Woe unto you, yc blind guides,
which say, WhOsoeyer shall swear
by the temple, it is nothing; but who
soever shall swear by the gold of the
temple, he is debtor.
II Ye fools and blind: for whether
is greater, the gold, or the temple
that sanctifieth the gold?
Is And, Whosoever shall swear by
the altar, it is nothing; but whose
ever sweareth by the gift that is upon
| it. he is guilty.
10 Ye fools and blind: for whether
is greater, the gift, or the altar that
sanctiieth the gift?
20 Whose therefore shall swear by
the altar, sweareth by it, and by all
things thereon.
u And whose shall swear by the
temple, sweareth by it, and by him
that dwelleth therein.
% And he that shall swear by
heaven, sweareth by the throne of
God, and by him that stitch thereon
% Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypOcrites. for We pay
1.-THE of mint ami anSe and cummin,
and have omitted the weightier mat
teFs of the law, judgment, mercy, and
faith: these ought We to have done,
and not TO leave the other undone.
81 Ye blind guides, which strain at
a gnat, and swallow camel.
% Woe unto you, scribes and Phari-
sees, hypocrires. for ye make clean
the outside of the cup and of the plat
ter, but within they are full of ex-
tOrtiou and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse
/ IlISl (Udt HiCil II NiinlH Inv cap diiu
platter, that the outside of them may
be clean also.
u Woe unto you, scribes and
pharisces, hypocrites! for ye are like
unto whitcd sepulchrcs, which indeed
appear beautiful outward, but are
within full of dead mems bones, and
Of all unCleanncss.
rs Even so We also outwardly APP
pear righteous unto men, but within
We are full of hypocrisy and iniquity
% Woe unto you, scriDes and
Pharisees, hypOcrites! because ye
build the tombs CT the prophets, and
garnish the sepulchres of the righte-
Gus,
so 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.
! 81 Wherefore We be witnesses unto
yourselves, that We are the children
of them which killed the prophets.
81 Fill We up then the measure of
your fathers.
