CHAPTER 23

Jeus Rebukes the Scribes and Pharisees
1. Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,
2. saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.
3. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.
4. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, 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 to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.
6. They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7. greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.'
8. But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.
9. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
10. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.
11. But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted
13. But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
14. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therfore you will receive greater condemnation.
15. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
16. Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothig; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.'
17. Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18. And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.'
19. Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20. Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it.
21. He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it.
22. And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.
23. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.
24. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of teh cup and dish, but inside they are full fo extortion and self-indulgence.
26. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hyporcirtes! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleaness.
28. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
30. and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the phophets.'
31. Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the phophets.
32. Fill up, then, the measure of your father's guilt.
33. Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?
34. Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crusify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
35. that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36. Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem
37. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
38. See! Your house is left to your desolate;
39. for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'"

These the the book I have completed:

  • Matthew - In progress. Started Sunday, June 11, 2006

My Aplogoies, This online bible is not complete yet. I have dedicated this site to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Through my search to find software of a PHP language Holy Bible Script, I have not found none. Jesus has given me the wisdom to be able to write my own code, and this is just what I am doing. I am in the process of writing this online Bible, word by word. I am starting this bible with the book of Matthew in the New Testament. The books and chapter that you find in this online bible are the only ones I have completed. I hope to have this bible completed soon. I also plan to share my script with anyone who is interested in having the script under GPL/GNU license. I ask that you pray for me to have the wisdom and strength to continue with this project. If you would like to help me with the data entry, please let me know. You can contact our webmaster at http://www.wallpaperama.com/ May the Lord bless you. Amen.
