Then Y'shua spoke with the crowd and with his disciples,

and said to them: The scribes and Pharisees sit on the seat of Moshe.

Everything therefore that they tell you to keep, keep and do. But according to their deeds do not do: for they say, and do not do.

They bind heavy burdens and lay them on the shoulders of the sons of men; but they themselves do not want to touch them with their finger.

And all their works they do to be seen by the sons of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and lengthen the fringes of their garments.

And they love the highest places at banquets and the highest seats in the synagogues,

and the greeting in the marketplaces, and to be called by people Rabbi.

But you are not to be called Rabbi, for one is your Rabbi, and you are all brothers.

And do not call anyone among you Father on earth, for one is your Father who is in heaven.

And do not be called guides, because one is your Guide, the Mashiyach.

But the one who is great among you will be your servant.

For whoever raises himself up will be brought low, and whoever lowers himself will be raised up.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you devour the houses of widows under the pretext of lengthening your prayers. Because of this you will receive greater judgment.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you shut the kingdom of heaven before the sons of men; for you yourselves do not enter, and those who are entering you do not allow to enter.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you go around sea and dry land to make one convert, and when he becomes one you make him a son of Gehenna twice as much as yourselves.

Woe to you, blind guides, who say that whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gold that is in the temple is bound.

Fools and blind ones, for which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?

And whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering upon it is bound.

Fools and blind ones: which is greater, the offering or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything that is on it.

And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.

And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of Elohim and by him who sits above it.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and you have left the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to do, and those not to leave.

Blind guides, who strain out gnats and swallow camels.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of rapine and iniquity.

Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that their outside may also be clean.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for you are like whitewashed tombs, which from the outside appear beautiful, but inside are full of the bones of the dead and all uncleanness.

So you also from the outside appear to the children of men as righteous, but inside you are full of iniquity and hypocrisy.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for you build the tombs of the prophets and you adorn the burial places of the righteous;

and you say: If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the prophets.

Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the children of those who killed the prophets.

And you also, fill up the measure of your fathers.

Serpents, offspring of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of Gehenna?

Because of this, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you kill and crucify, and some of them you scourge in your synagogues, and you will persecute them from city to city,

so that all the blood of the righteous that has been shed on the earth may come upon you, from the blood of righteous Habeel to the blood of Zakharya son of Barakhya, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.

Amen, I say to you that all these things will come upon this generation.

Urishlim, Urishlim, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her: how often I wanted to gather your children, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not.

Look, your house is left to you desolate.

For I say to you that you will not see me from now until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of Master YHWH.
