Matthew 23

GNT

1 τότε ὁ ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησεν τοῖς ὄχλοις καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ

2 λέγων, ἐπὶ τῆς μωϊσέως καθέδρας ἐκάθισαν οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ φαρισαῖοι.

3 πάντα οὗν ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν ποιήσατε καὶ τηρεῖτε, κατὰ δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν μὴ ποιεῖτε· λέγουσιν γὰρ καὶ οὐ ποιοῦσιν.

4 δεσμεύουσιν δὲ φορτία βαρέα [καὶ δυσβάστακτα] καὶ ἐπιτιθέασιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους τῶν ἀνθρώπων, αὐτοὶ δὲ τῶ δακτύλῳ αὐτῶν οὐ θέλουσιν κινῆσαι αὐτά.

5 πάντα δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν ποιοῦσιν πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· πλατύνουσιν γὰρ τὰ φυλακτήρια αὐτῶν καὶ μεγαλύνουσιν τὰ κράσπεδα,

6 φιλοῦσιν δὲ τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις καὶ τὰς πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς

7 καὶ τοὺς ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ καλεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ῥαββί.

8 ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ κληθῆτε, ῥαββί, εἷς γάρ ἐστιν ὑμῶν ὁ διδάσκαλος, πάντες δὲ ὑμεῖς ἀδελφοί ἐστε.

9 καὶ πατέρα μὴ καλέσητε ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, εἷς γάρ ἐστιν ὑμῶν ὁ πατὴρ ὁ οὐράνιος.

10 μηδὲ κληθῆτε καθηγηταί, ὅτι καθηγητὴς ὑμῶν ἐστιν εἷς ὁ χριστός.

11 ὁ δὲ μείζων ὑμῶν ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος.

12 ὅστις δὲ ὑψώσει ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, καὶ ὅστις ταπεινώσει ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.

13 οὐαὶ δὲ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι κλείετε τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ὑμεῖς γὰρ οὐκ εἰσέρχεσθε, οὐδὲ τοὺς εἰσερχομένους ἀφίετε εἰσελθεῖν.

14 

15 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι περιάγετε τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηρὰν ποιῆσαι ἕνα προσήλυτον, καὶ ὅταν γένηται ποιεῖτε αὐτὸν υἱὸν γεέννης διπλότερον ὑμῶν.

16 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, ὁδηγοὶ τυφλοὶ οἱ λέγοντες, ὃς ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῶ ναῶ, οὐδέν ἐστιν· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῶ χρυσῶ τοῦ ναοῦ ὀφείλει.

17 μωροὶ καὶ τυφλοί, τίς γὰρ μείζων ἐστίν, ὁ χρυσὸς ἢ ὁ ναὸς ὁ ἁγιάσας τὸν χρυσόν;

18 καί, ὃς ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῶ θυσιαστηρίῳ, οὐδέν ἐστιν· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῶ δώρῳ τῶ ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ ὀφείλει.

19 τυφλοί, τί γὰρ μεῖζον, τὸ δῶρον ἢ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ ἁγιάζον τὸ δῶρον;

20 ὁ οὗν ὀμόσας ἐν τῶ θυσιαστηρίῳ ὀμνύει ἐν αὐτῶ καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ·

21 καὶ ὁ ὀμόσας ἐν τῶ ναῶ ὀμνύει ἐν αὐτῶ καὶ ἐν τῶ κατοικοῦντι αὐτόν·

22 καὶ ὁ ὀμόσας ἐν τῶ οὐρανῶ ὀμνύει ἐν τῶ θρόνῳ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐν τῶ καθημένῳ ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ.

23 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι ἀποδεκατοῦτε τὸ ἡδύοσμον καὶ τὸ ἄνηθον καὶ τὸ κύμινον, καὶ ἀφήκατε τὰ βαρύτερα τοῦ νόμου, τὴν κρίσιν καὶ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ τὴν πίστιν· ταῦτα [δὲ] ἔδει ποιῆσαι κἀκεῖνα μὴ ἀφιέναι.

24 ὁδηγοὶ τυφλοί, οἱ διϊλίζοντες τὸν κώνωπα τὴν δὲ κάμηλον καταπίνοντες.

25 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι καθαρίζετε τὸ ἔξωθεν τοῦ ποτηρίου καὶ τῆς παροψίδος, ἔσωθεν δὲ γέμουσιν ἐξ ἁρπαγῆς καὶ ἀκρασίας.

26 φαρισαῖε τυφλέ, καθάρισον πρῶτον τὸ ἐντὸς τοῦ ποτηρίου, ἵνα γένηται καὶ τὸ ἐκτὸς αὐτοῦ καθαρόν.

27 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι παρομοιάζετε τάφοις κεκονιαμένοις, οἵτινες ἔξωθεν μὲν φαίνονται ὡραῖοι ἔσωθεν δὲ γέμουσιν ὀστέων νεκρῶν καὶ πάσης ἀκαθαρσίας.

28 οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔξωθεν μὲν φαίνεσθε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις δίκαιοι, ἔσωθεν δέ ἐστε μεστοὶ ὑποκρίσεως καὶ ἀνομίας.

29 οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι οἰκοδομεῖτε τοὺς τάφους τῶν προφητῶν καὶ κοσμεῖτε τὰ μνημεῖα τῶν δικαίων,

30 καὶ λέγετε, εἰ ἤμεθα ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, οὐκ ἂν ἤμεθα αὐτῶν κοινωνοὶ ἐν τῶ αἵματι τῶν προφητῶν.

31 ὥστε μαρτυρεῖτε ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι υἱοί ἐστε τῶν φονευσάντων τοὺς προφήτας.

32 καὶ ὑμεῖς πληρώσατε τὸ μέτρον τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν.

33 ὄφεις γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, πῶς φύγητε ἀπὸ τῆς κρίσεως τῆς γεέννης;

34 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω πρὸς ὑμᾶς προφήτας καὶ σοφοὺς καὶ γραμματεῖς· ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀποκτενεῖτε καὶ σταυρώσετε, καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν μαστιγώσετε ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς ὑμῶν καὶ διώξετε ἀπὸ πόλεως εἰς πόλιν·

35 ὅπως ἔλθῃ ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς πᾶν αἷμα δίκαιον ἐκχυννόμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος ἅβελ τοῦ δικαίου ἕως τοῦ αἵματος ζαχαρίου υἱοῦ βαραχίου, ὃν ἐφονεύσατε μεταξὺ τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.

36 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἥξει ταῦτα πάντα ἐπὶ τὴν γενεὰν ταύτην.

37 ἰερουσαλὴμ ἰερουσαλήμ, ἡ ἀποκτείνουσα τοὺς προφήτας καὶ λιθοβολοῦσα τοὺς ἀπεσταλμένους πρὸς αὐτήν, ποσάκις ἠθέλησα ἐπισυναγαγεῖν τὰ τέκνα σου, ὃν τρόπον ὄρνις ἐπισυνάγει τὰ νοσσία αὐτῆς ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας, καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε.

38 ἰδοὺ ἀφίεται ὑμῖν ὁ οἶκος ὑμῶν ἔρημος.

39 λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, οὐ μή με ἴδητε ἀπ᾽ ἄρτι ἕως ἂν εἴπητε, εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου.

1  Then⁵¹¹⁹ spake²⁹⁸⁰ Jesus²⁴²⁴ to the³⁵⁸⁸ multitude,³⁷⁹³ and²⁵³² to his⁸⁴⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹

2  Saying,³⁰⁰⁴ The³⁵⁸⁸ scribes¹¹²² and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Pharisees⁵³³⁰ sit²⁵²³ in¹⁹⁰⁹ Moses'³⁴⁷⁵ seat:²⁵¹⁵

3  All³⁹⁵⁶ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ whatsoever^{3745 302} they bid²⁰³⁶ you⁵²¹³ observe,⁵⁰⁸³ that observe⁵⁰⁸³ and²⁵³² do;⁴¹⁶⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ do⁴¹⁶⁰ not³³⁶¹ ye after²⁵⁹⁶ their⁸⁴⁶ works:²⁰⁴¹ for¹⁰⁶³ they say,³⁰⁰⁴ and²⁵³² do⁴¹⁶⁰ not.³⁷⁵⁶

4  For¹⁰⁶³ they bind¹¹⁹⁵ heavy⁹²⁶ burdens⁵⁴¹³ and²⁵³² grievous to be borne,¹⁴¹⁹ and²⁵³² lay²⁰⁰⁷ them on¹⁹⁰⁹ men's⁴⁴⁴ shoulders;⁵⁶⁰⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ they themselves will²³⁰⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ move²⁷⁹⁵ them⁸⁴⁶ with one of their⁸⁴⁸ fingers.¹¹⁴⁷

5  But¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ their⁸⁴⁸ works²⁰⁴¹ they do⁴¹⁶⁰ for to be seen²³⁰⁰ of men:⁴⁴⁴ they¹¹⁶¹ make broad⁴¹¹⁵ their⁸⁴⁸ phylacteries,⁵⁴⁴⁰ and²⁵³² enlarge³¹⁷⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ borders²⁸⁹⁹ of their⁸⁴⁸ garments,²⁴⁴⁰

6  And⁵⁰³⁷ love⁵³⁶⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ uppermost rooms⁴⁴¹¹ at¹⁷²² feasts,¹¹⁷³ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ chief seats⁴⁴¹⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ synagogues,⁴⁸⁶⁴

7  And²⁵³² greetings⁷⁸³ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ markets,⁵⁸ and²⁵³² to be called²⁵⁶⁴ of⁵²⁵⁹ men,⁴⁴⁴ Rabbi,⁴⁴⁶¹ Rabbi.⁴⁴⁶¹

8  But¹¹⁶¹ be not³³⁶¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ called²⁵⁶⁴ Rabbi:⁴⁴⁶¹ for¹⁰⁶³ one¹⁵²⁰ is²⁰⁷⁶ your⁵²¹⁶ Master,²⁵¹⁹ even Christ;⁵⁵⁴⁷ and¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ ye⁵²¹⁰ are²⁰⁷⁵ brethren.⁸⁰

9  And²⁵³² call²⁵⁶⁴ no³³⁶¹ man your⁵²¹⁶ father³⁹⁶² upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth:¹⁰⁹³ for¹⁰⁶³ one¹⁵²⁰ is²⁰⁷⁶ your⁵²¹⁶ Father,³⁹⁶² which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² heaven.³⁷⁷²

10  Neither³³⁶⁶ be ye called²⁵⁶⁴ masters:²⁵¹⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ one¹⁵²⁰ is²⁰⁷⁶ your⁵²¹⁶ Master,²⁵¹⁹ even Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

11  But¹¹⁶¹ he that is greatest³¹⁸⁷ among you⁵²¹⁶ shall be²⁰⁷¹ your⁵²¹⁶ servant.¹²⁴⁹

12  And¹¹⁶¹ whosoever³⁷⁴⁸ shall exalt⁵³¹² himself¹⁴³⁸ shall be abased;⁵⁰¹³ and²⁵³² he³⁷⁴⁸ that shall humble⁵⁰¹³ himself¹⁴³⁸ shall be exalted.⁵³¹²

13  But¹¹⁶¹ woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto you,⁵²¹³ scribes¹¹²² and²⁵³² Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ hypocrites!⁵²⁷³ for³⁷⁵⁴ ye shut up²⁸⁰⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of heaven³⁷⁷² against¹⁷¹⁵ men:⁴⁴⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ ye⁵²¹⁰ neither³⁷⁵⁶ go in¹⁵²⁵ yourselves, neither³⁷⁶¹ suffer⁸⁶³ ye them that are entering¹⁵²⁵ to go in.¹⁵²⁵

14  ¹¹⁶¹ Woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto you,⁵²¹³ scribes¹¹²² and²⁵³² Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ hypocrites!⁵²⁷³ for³⁷⁵⁴ ye devour²⁷¹⁹ widows'⁵⁵⁰³ houses,³⁶¹⁴ and²⁵³² for a pretence⁴³⁹² make long prayer:^{4336 3117} therefore^{1223 5124} ye shall receive²⁹⁸³ the greater⁴⁰⁵⁶ damnation.²⁹¹⁷

15  Woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto you,⁵²¹³ scribes¹¹²² and²⁵³² Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ hypocrites!⁵²⁷³ for³⁷⁵⁴ ye compass⁴⁰¹³ sea²²⁸¹ and²⁵³² land³⁵⁸⁴ to make⁴¹⁶⁰ one¹⁵²⁰ proselyte,⁴³³⁹ and²⁵³² when³⁷⁵² he is made,¹⁰⁹⁶ ye make⁴¹⁶⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ twofold more¹³⁶² the child⁵²⁰⁷ of hell¹⁰⁶⁷ than yourselves.⁵²¹⁶

16  Woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto you,⁵²¹³ ye blind⁵¹⁸⁵ guides,³⁵⁹⁵ which say,³⁰⁰⁴ Whosoever^{3739 302} shall swear³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,³⁴⁸⁵ it is²⁰⁷⁶ nothing;³⁷⁶² but¹¹⁶¹ whosoever^{3739 302} shall swear³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ gold⁵⁵⁵⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,³⁴⁸⁵ he is a debtor!³⁷⁸⁴

17  Ye fools³⁴⁷⁴ and²⁵³² blind:⁵¹⁸⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ whether⁵¹⁰¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ greater,³¹⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ gold,⁵⁵⁵⁷ or²²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple³⁴⁸⁵ that sanctifieth³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ gold?⁵⁵⁵⁷

18  And,²⁵³² Whosoever^{3739 1437} shall swear³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ altar,²³⁷⁹ it is²⁰⁷⁶ nothing;³⁷⁶² but¹¹⁶¹ whosoever^{3739 302} sweareth³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ gift¹⁴³⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ is upon¹⁸⁸³ it,⁸⁴⁶ he is guilty.³⁷⁸⁴

19  Ye fools³⁴⁷⁴ and²⁵³² blind:⁵¹⁸⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ whether⁵¹⁰¹ is greater,³¹⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ gift,¹⁴³⁵ or²²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ altar²³⁷⁹ that sanctifieth³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ gift¹⁴³⁵

20  Whoso therefore shall swear^{3660 3767} by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ altar,²³⁷⁹ sweareth³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² it,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² by¹⁷²² all things³⁹⁵⁶ thereon.^{1883 846}

21  And whoso shall swear³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple,³⁴⁸⁵ sweareth³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² it,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² by¹⁷²² him that dwelleth therein.^{2730 846}

22  And²⁵³² he that shall swear³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² heaven,³⁷⁷² sweareth³⁶⁶⁰ by¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ throne²³⁶² of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² by¹⁷²² him that sitteth²⁵²¹ thereon.^{1883 846}

23  Woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto you,⁵²¹³ scribes¹¹²² and²⁵³² Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ hypocrites!⁵²⁷³ for¹⁰⁶³ ye pay tithe⁵⁸⁶ of mint²²³⁸ and²⁵³² anise⁴³² and²⁵³² cummin,²⁹⁵¹ and²⁵³² have omitted⁸⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ weightier⁹²⁶ matters of the³⁵⁸⁸ law,³⁵⁵¹ judgment,^{2920 2532} mercy,¹⁶⁵⁶ and²⁵³² faith:⁴¹⁰² these⁵⁰²³ ought¹¹⁶³ ye to have done,⁴¹⁶⁰ and not³³⁶¹ to leave⁸⁶³ the other²⁵⁴⁸ undone.⁸⁶³

24  Ye blind⁵¹⁸⁵ guides,³⁵⁹⁵ which strain¹³⁶⁸ at a gnat,²⁹⁷¹ and¹¹⁶¹ swallow²⁶⁶⁶ a camel.²⁵⁷⁴

25  Woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto you,⁵²¹³ scribes¹¹²² and²⁵³² Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ hypocrites!⁵²⁷³ for³⁷⁵⁴ ye make clean²⁵¹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ outside¹⁸⁵⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ cup⁴²²¹ and²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ platter,³⁹⁵³ but¹¹⁶¹ within²⁰⁸¹ they are full¹⁰⁷³ of¹⁵³⁷ extortion⁷²⁴ and²⁵³² excess.¹⁹²

26  Thou blind⁵¹⁸⁵ Pharisee,⁵³³⁰ cleanse²⁵¹¹ first⁴⁴¹² that³⁵⁸⁸ which is within¹⁷⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ cup⁴²²¹ and²⁵³² platter,³⁹⁵³ that²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ outside¹⁶²² of them⁸⁴⁶ may be¹⁰⁹⁶ clean²⁵¹³ also.²⁵³²

27  Woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto you,⁵²¹³ scribes¹¹²² and²⁵³² Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ hypocrites!⁵²⁷³ for³⁷⁵⁴ ye are like unto³⁹⁴⁵ whited²⁸⁶⁷ sepulchers,⁵⁰²⁸ which³⁷⁴⁸ indeed³³⁰³ appear⁵³¹⁶ beautiful⁵⁶¹¹ outward,¹⁸⁵⁵ but¹¹⁶¹ are within full^{1073 2081} of dead³⁴⁹⁸ men's bones,³⁷⁴⁷ and²⁵³² of all³⁹⁵⁶ uncleanness.¹⁶⁷

28  Even so³⁷⁷⁹ ye⁵²¹⁰ also²⁵³² outwardly^{1855 3303} appear⁵³¹⁶ righteous¹³⁴² unto men,⁴⁴⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ within²⁰⁸¹ ye are²⁰⁷⁵ full³³²⁴ of hypocrisy⁵²⁷² and²⁵³² iniquity.⁴⁵⁸

29  Woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto you,⁵²¹³ scribes¹¹²² and²⁵³² Pharisees,⁵³³⁰ hypocrites!⁵²⁷³ because³⁷⁵⁴ ye build³⁶¹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ tombs⁵⁰²⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets,⁴³⁹⁶ and²⁵³² garnish²⁸⁸⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ sepulchers³⁴¹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ righteous,¹³⁴²

30  And²⁵³² say,³⁰⁰⁴ If¹⁴⁸⁷ we had been²²⁵⁸ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ days²²⁵⁰ of our²²⁵⁷ fathers,³⁹⁶² we would not³⁷⁵⁶ have been^{2258 302} partakers²⁸⁴⁴ with them⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ blood¹²⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets.⁴³⁹⁶

31  Wherefore⁵⁶²⁰ ye be witnesses³¹⁴⁰ unto yourselves,¹⁴³⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ ye are²⁰⁷⁵ the children⁵²⁰⁷ of them which killed⁵⁴⁰⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets.⁴³⁹⁶

32  Fill ye up^{4137 5210} then²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ measure³³⁵⁸ of your⁵²¹⁶ fathers.³⁹⁶²

33  Ye serpents,³⁷⁸⁹ ye generation¹⁰⁸¹ of vipers,²¹⁹¹ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ can ye escape^{5343 575} the³⁵⁸⁸ damnation²⁹²⁰ of hell?¹⁰⁶⁷

34  Wherefore,^{1223 5124} behold,²⁴⁰⁰ I¹⁴⁷³ send⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ prophets,⁴³⁹⁶ and²⁵³² wise men,⁴⁶⁸⁰ and²⁵³² scribes:¹¹²² and²⁵³² some of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ ye shall kill⁶¹⁵ and²⁵³² crucify;⁴⁷¹⁷ and²⁵³² some of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ shall ye scourge³¹⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ synagogues,⁴⁸⁶⁴ and²⁵³² persecute¹³⁷⁷ them from⁵⁷⁵ city⁴¹⁷² to¹⁵¹⁹ city:⁴¹⁷²

35  That³⁷⁰⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ you⁵²⁰⁹ may come²⁰⁶⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ the righteous¹³⁴² blood¹²⁹ shed¹⁶³² upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ blood¹²⁹ of righteous¹³⁴² Abel⁶ unto²¹⁹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ blood¹²⁹ of Zechariah²¹⁹⁷ son⁵²⁰⁷ of Barachias,⁹¹⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ ye slew⁵⁴⁰⁷ between³³⁴² the³⁵⁸⁸ temple³⁴⁸⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ altar.²³⁷⁹

36  Verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ All³⁹⁵⁶ these things⁵⁰²³ shall come²²⁴⁰ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ this⁵⁰²⁶ generation.¹⁰⁷⁴

37  O Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ thou that killest⁶¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets,⁴³⁹⁶ and²⁵³² stonest³⁰³⁶ them which are sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ thee,⁸⁴⁶ how often⁴²¹² would²³⁰⁹ I have gathered thy children together,^{1996 4675 5043} even as^{3739 5158} a hen³⁷³³ gathereth¹⁹⁹⁶ her¹⁴³⁸ chickens³⁵⁵⁶ under⁵²⁵⁹ her wings,⁴⁴²⁰ and²⁵³² ye would²³⁰⁹ not!³⁷⁵⁶

38  Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ your⁵²¹⁶ house³⁶²⁴ is left⁸⁶³ unto you⁵²¹³ desolate.²⁰⁴⁸

39  For¹⁰⁶³ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Ye shall not³³⁶⁴ see¹⁴⁹² me³¹⁶⁵ henceforth,^{575 737} till^{2193 302} ye shall say,²⁰³⁶ Blessed²¹²⁷ is he that cometh²⁰⁶⁴ in¹⁷²² the name³⁶⁸⁶ of the Lord.²⁹⁶²

Vul

1 Tunc Jesus locutus est ad turbas, et ad discipulos suos,

2 dicens: Super cathedram Moysi sederunt scribæ et pharisæi.

3 Omnia ergo quæcumque dixerint vobis, servate, et facite: secundum opera vero eorum nolite facere: dicunt enim, et non faciunt.

4 Alligant enim onera gravia, et importabilia, et imponunt in humeros hominum: digito autem suo nolunt ea movere.

5 Omnia vero opera sua faciunt ut videantur ab hominibus: dilatant enim phylacteria sua, et magnificant fimbrias.

6 Amant autem primos recubitus in cœnis, et primas cathedras in synagogis,

7 et salutationes in foro, et vocari ab hominibus Rabbi.

8 Vos autem nolite vocari Rabbi: unus est enim magister vester, omnes autem vos fratres estis.

9 Et patrem nolite vocare vobis super terram: unus est enim pater vester qui in cælis est.

10 Nec vocemini magistri: quia magister vester unus est, Christus.

11 Qui major est vestrum, erit minister vester.

12 Qui autem se exaltaverit, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliaverit, exaltabitur.

13 Væ autem vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia clauditis regnum cælorum ante homines! vos enim non intratis, nec introëuntes sinitis intrare.

14 Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia comeditis domos viduarum, orationes longas orantes! propter hoc amplius accipietis judicium.

15 Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia circuitis mare, et aridam, ut faciatis unum proselytum, et cum fuerit factus, facitis eum filium gehennæ duplo quam vos.

16 Væ vobis duces cæci, qui dicitis: Quicumque juraverit per templum, nihil est: qui autem juraverit in auro templo, debet.

17 Stulti et cæci: quid enim majus est? aurum, an templum, quod sanctificat aurum?

18 Et quicumque juraverit in altari, nihil est: quicumque autem juraverit in dono, quod est super illud, debet.

19 Cæci: quid enim majus est, donum, an altare, quod sanctificat donum?

20 Qui ergo jurat in altari, jurat in eo, et in omnibus quæ super illud sunt.

21 Et quicumque juraverit in templo, jurat in illo, et in eo qui habitat in ipso:

22 et qui jurat in cælo, jurat in throno Dei, et in eo qui sedet super eum.

23 Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, qui decimatis mentham, et anethum, et cyminum, et reliquistis quæ graviora sunt legis, judicium, et misericordiam, et fidem! hæc oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.

24 Duces cæci, excolantes culicem, camelum autem glutientes.

25 Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia mundatis quod deforis est calicis et paropsidis; intus autem pleni estis rapina et immunditia!

26 Pharisæe cæce, munda prius quod intus est calicis, et paropsidis, ut fiat id, quod deforis est, mundum.

27 Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia similes estis sepulchris dealbatis, quæ a foris parent hominibus speciosa, intus vero pleni sunt ossibus mortuorum, et omni spurcitia!

28 Sic et vos a foris quidem paretis hominibus justi: intus autem pleni estis hypocrisi et iniquitate.

29 Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, qui ædificatis sepulchra prophetarum, et ornatis monumenta justorum,

30 et dicitis: Si fuissemus in diebus patrum nostrorum, non essemus socii eorum in sanguine prophetarum!

31 itaque testimonio estis vobismetipsis, quia filii estis eorum, qui prophetas occiderunt.

32 Et vos implete mensuram patrum vestrorum.

33 Serpentes, genimina viperarum, quomodo fugietis a judicio gehennæ?

34 Ideo ecce ego mitto ad vos prophetas, et sapientes, et scribas, et ex illis occidetis, et crucifigetis, et ex eis flagellabitis in synagogis vestris, et persequemini de civitate in civitatem:

35 ut veniat super vos omnis sanguis justus, qui effusus est super terram, a sanguine Abel justi usque ad sanguinem Zachariæ, filii Barachiæ, quem occidistis inter templum et altare.

36 Amen dico vobis, venient hæc omnia super generationem istam.

37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, quæ occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos, qui ad te missi sunt, quoties volui congregare filios tuos, quemadmodum gallina congregat pullos suos sub alas, et noluisti?

38 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta.

39 Dico enim vobis, non me videbitis amodo, donec dicatis: Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini.
