| 34 But when the Pharisees had
heard that he had put the Sadducees
to silence, they were gathered together. | 28 And one of the scribes came,
and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them
well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? |
| 35 Then one of them which was a
lawyer, asked him a question, tempting
him, and saying, | |
| 36 Master, which is the great commandment
in the law? | |
| 29 And Jesus answered him, The
first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is
one Lord: |
| 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind.[242] | 30 And thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength: this is the
first commandment. |
| 38 This is the first and great commandment. | 31 And the second is like, namely
this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself: there is none other commandment
greater than these. |
| 39 And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.[243] | 32 And the scribe said unto him,
Well Master, thou hast said the
truth: for there is one God; and
there is none other but he: |
| 33 And to love him with all the
heart, and with all the understanding,
and with all the soul, and with all the
strength, and to love his neighbour as
himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings
and sacrifices. |
| 34 And when Jesus saw that he
answered discreetly, he said unto him,
Thou art not far from the kingdom of
God. And no man after that durst
ask him any question. |

| Then spake Jesus to the multitude,
and to his disciples, | 38 And he said unto them in his
doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which
love to go in long clothing, and love
salutations in the market-places, |
| 2 Saying, The scribes and the
Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: | 39 And the chief seats in the synagogues,
and the uppermost rooms at feasts: |
| 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 ye not 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 wo 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 Wo 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. | 40 Which devour widows' houses
and for a pretence make long prayers
these shall receive greater damnation |
| 15 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye compass
sea and land to make one proselyte;
and when he is made, ye make him
two-fold more the child of hell than
yourselves. | |
| 16 Wo 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 Wo 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 Wo 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 Wo 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 Wo 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 synagogue, 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.[245] | |
| 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.[246] | |
| 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.[247] | |
