1
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
2‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat;
3therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it;
but do not do as they do, for they do not practise what
they teach. 4They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,*
and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves
are unwilling to lift a finger to move them. 5They do
all their deeds to be seen by others; for they make
their phylacteries broad and their fringes long. 6They
love to have the place of honour at banquets and the
best seats in the synagogues, 7and to be greeted with
respect in the market-places, and to have people call
them rabbi. 8But you are not to be called rabbi, for
you have one teacher, and you are all students.* 9And
call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father?the
one in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called instructors,
for you have one instructor, the Messiah.* 11The greatest
among you will be your servant.
12All who exalt themselves
will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will
be exalted.
13
‘But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. For
you do not go in yourselves, and when others are going
in, you stop them.*
15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single
convert, and you make the new convert twice as much
a child of hell* as yourselves.
16
‘Woe to you, blind guides, who say, “Whoever swears
by the sanctuary is bound by nothing, but whoever swears
by the gold of the sanctuary is bound by the oath.”
17You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or
the sanctuary that has made the gold sacred? 18And you
say, “Whoever swears by the altar is bound by nothing,
but whoever swears by the gift that is on the altar
is bound by the oath.” 19How blind you are! For which
is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift
sacred? 20So whoever swears by the altar, swears by
it and by everything on it; 21and whoever swears by
the sanctuary, swears by it and by the one who dwells
in it; 22and whoever swears by heaven, swears by the
throne of God and by the one who is seated upon it.
23
‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you tithe mint, dill, and cummin, and have neglected
the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy
and faith. It is these you ought to have practised without
neglecting the others. 24You blind guides! You strain
out a gnat but swallow a camel!
25 ‘Woe to you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the
outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they
are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26You blind Pharisee!
First clean the inside of the cup,* so that the outside
also may become clean.
27
‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside
look beautiful, but inside they are full of the bones
of the dead and of all kinds of filth. 28So you also
on the outside look righteous to others, but inside
you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29
‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the
graves of the righteous, 30and 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.”
31Thus you testify against yourselves that you are descendants
of those who murdered the prophets. 32Fill up, then,
the measure of your ancestors. 33You snakes, you brood
of vipers! How can you escape being sentenced to hell?*
34Therefore I send you prophets, sages, and scribes,
some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you
will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to
town, 35so that upon you may come all the righteous
blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel
to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you
murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36Truly
I tell you, all this will come upon this generation.
37
‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets
and stones those who are sent to it! How often have
I desired to gather your children together as a hen
gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not
willing! 38See, your house is left to you, desolate.*
39For I tell you, you will not see me again until you
say, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the
Lord.” ’
马太福音 23 章 1.那时，耶稣对众人和门徒讲论， 2.说，文士和法利赛人，坐在摩西的位上。
3.凡他们所吩咐你们的，你们都要谨守，遵行。但不要效法他们的行为。因为他们能说不能行。 4.他们把难担的重担，捆起来搁在人的肩上。但自己一个指头也不肯动。 5.他们一切所作的事，都是要叫人看见。所以将佩戴的经文做宽了，衣裳的？？子做长了。
6.喜爱筵席上的首座，会堂里的高位。
7.又喜爱人在街市上问他安，称呼他拉比。（拉比就是夫子）
8.但你们不要受拉比的称呼。因为只有一位是你们的夫子。你们都是弟兄。
9.也不要称呼地上的人为父。因为只有一位是你们的父，就是在天上的父。
10.也不要受师尊的称呼。因为只有一位是你们的师尊，就是基督。
11.你们中间谁为大，谁就要作你们的用人。 12.凡自高的必降为卑，自卑的必升为高。
13.你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了。因为你们正当人前把天国的门关了。自己不进去，正要进去的人，你们也不容他们进去。（有古卷在此有
14.你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了，因为你们侵吞寡妇的家产，假意作很长的祷告，你们要受更重的刑罚）
15.你们这假冒为善的文士法利赛人有祸了。因为你们走遍洋海陆地，勾引一个人入教。既入了教，却使他作地狱之子，比你们还加倍。
16.你们这瞎眼领路的有祸了。你们说，凡指着殿起誓的，这算不得什么。只是凡指着殿中金子起誓的，他就该谨守。
17.你们这无知瞎眼的人哪，什么是大的，是金子呢，还是叫金子成圣的殿呢。
18.你们又说，凡指着坛起誓的，这算不得什么。只是指着坛上礼物起誓的，他就该谨守。 19.你们这瞎眼的人哪，什么是大的，是礼物呢，还是叫礼物成圣的坛呢。
20.所以人指着坛起誓，就是指着坛和坛上一切所有的起誓。
21.人指着殿起誓，就是指着殿和住在殿里的起誓。
22.人指着天起誓，就是指着神的宝座和那坐在上面的起誓。
23.你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了。因为你们将薄荷，茴香，芹菜，太23：23）献上十分之一。那律法上更重的事，就是公义，怜悯，信实，反倒不行了。这更重的是你们当行的；那也是不可不行的。
24.你们这瞎眼领路的，蠓虫你们就滤出来，骆驼你们倒吞下去。
25.你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了。因为你们洗净杯盘的外面，里面却盛满了勒索和放荡。 26.你这瞎眼的法利赛人，先洗净杯盘的里面，好叫外面也乾净了。
27.你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了。因为你们好像粉饰的坟墓，外面好看，里面却装满了死人的骨头，和一切的污秽。
28.你们也是如此，在人前，外面显出公义来，里面却装满了假善和不法的事。
29.你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了。因为你们建造先知的坟，修饰义人的墓，说， 30.若是我们在我们祖宗的时候，必不和他们同流先知的血。
31.这就是你们自己证明，是杀害先知者的子孙了。
32.你们去充满你们祖宗的恶贯吧。
33.你们这些蛇类，毒蛇之种阿，怎能逃脱地狱的刑罚呢。
34.所以我差谴先知和智慧人并文士，到你们这里来。有的你们要杀害，要钉十字架。有的你们要在会堂里鞭打，从这城追逼到那城。
35.叫世上所流义人的血，都归到你们身上。从义人亚伯拉罕的血起，直到你们在殿和坛中间所杀的巴拉加的儿子撒迦利亚的血为止。
36.我实在告诉你们，这一切的罪，都要归到这世代了。
37.耶路撒冷阿，耶路撒冷阿，你常杀害先知，又用石头打死那奉差遣到你这里来的人。我多次愿意聚集你的儿女，好像母鸡把小鸡聚集在翅膀底下，只是你们不愿意。
38.看哪，你们的家成为荒场，留给你们。
39.我告诉你们，从今以后，你们不得再见我，直等到你们说，奉主名来的，是应当称颂的。
