Matthew 23
1 Then spake Iesus to the people and to his disciples
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to the disciples of Him
2 sayinge. The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate.
saying; On Moses’ seat sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;
3 All therfore whatsoever they byd you observe that observe and do: but after their workes do not:
All things therefore as much as (if *N(k)O*) they shall tell you (to keep *K*) (do perform *N(k)O*) and do observe. After however the works of them not do perform; They speak for and not act.
4 For they saye and do not. Ye and they bynde hevy burthes and grevous to be borne and ley the on menes shulders: but they themsylfes will not heave at them with one of their fyngers.
They tie up (now *N(k)O*) burdens heavy and hard to bear and lay [them] on the shoulders of men; themselves however with the finger of them not are they willing to move them.
5 All their workes they do for to be sene of me. They set abroade their philateries and make large borders on there garmetes
All now the deeds of them they do in order to be seen by men; They broaden (for *N(k)O*) the phylacteries of them and enlarge tassels (the *k*) (of garments of them. *K*)
6 and love to sit vppermooste at feastes and to have the chefe seates in the synagoges
They love (now *N(k)O*) the chief place at the banquets and the first seats in the synagogues
7 and gretinges in the marketes and to be called of men Rabi.
and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called by men Rabbi (Rabbi. *K*)
8 But ye shall not suffre youre selves to be called Rabi. For one is youre master that is to wyt Christ and all ye are brethre.
you yourselves however not may be called Rabbi; One for is of you the (Teacher *N(k)O*) (Christ *K*) all now you yourselves brothers are.
9 And call no man youre father vpon the erth for there is but one youre father and he is in heven.
And father no [one] may call of you on the earth; One for is of you the Father who [is] (in heaven. *N(k)O*)
10 Be not called masters for there is but one youre master and he is Christ.
Neither may be called instructors, (since *N(k)O*) (the *k*) instructor of you is One the Christ.
11 He that is greatest amoge you shalbe youre seruaunte.
And the greatest among you will be your servant.
12 But whosoever exalteth himsilfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth himsilfe shalbe exalted.
He who then will exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever will humble himself will be exalted.
13 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites for ye shutte vp the kyngdome of heve before men: ye youre selves goo not in nether suffre ye them that come to enter in.
Woe (however *no*) to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; You yourselves for neither enter nor even those entering do you allow to go in.
14 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites: ye devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of praying longe prayers: wherfore ye shall receave greater damnacion.
(woe to you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for you devour houses widows and as a pretext long praying; through this you will receive more excessive judgment. *K*)
15 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which compasse see and londe to bringe one in to youre belefe: and when he ys brought ye make him two folde more the chylde of hell then ye youre selves are. (Geenna g1067)
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! For you traverse the sea and the dry [land] to make one convert, and when he may become [so], you make him a son of hell twofold more than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Wo be vnto you blynd gides which saye whosoever sweare by the teple it is no thinge: but whosoever sweare by the golde of the temple he offendeth.
Woe to you, guides blind you who [are] saying; Who[ever] maybe may swear by the temple, no [thing] it is; who[ever] however maybe may swear by the gold of the temple is bound.
17 Ye foles and blinde? whether is greater the golde or the teple that sanctifieth ye golde.
Foolish and blind! Which for greater is, the gold or the temple which (is sanctifying *N(k)O*) the gold?
18 And whosoever sweareth by the aulter it is nothinge: but whosoever sweareth by ye offeringe yt lyeth on ye aultre offendeth.
And [you say] Who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) shall swear by the altar, no [thing] it is; who[ever] however maybe shall swear by the gift that [is] upon it, is bound.
19 Ye foles and blinde: whether is greater ye offeringe or ye aultre which sanctifieth ye offeringe?
(foolish and *K*) You blind men! Which for [is] greater, the gift or the altar which is sanctifying the gift?
20 Whosoever therfore sweareth by ye aultre sweareth by it and by all yt there on is.
The [one] therefore having sworn by the altar swears by it and by all things that [are] upon it,
21 And whosoever sweareth by the teple sweareth by it and by hym yt dwelleth therin.
And the [one] having sworn by the temple swears by it and by the [One] (dwelling *NK(o)*) in it,
22 And he that sweareth by heve swereth by the seate of God and by hym that sytteth theron.
And the [one] having sworn by heaven swears by the throne of God and by the [One] sitting upon it.
23 Wo be to you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which tythe mynt annyse and comen and leave the waygthtyer mattres of ye lawe vndone: iudgemet mercy and fayth. These ought ye to have done and not to have left the othre vndone.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! For you pay tithes of mint and dill and cumin and you have neglected the weightier [matters] of the law, justice and (mercy *N(k)O*) and faithfulness; These (now *no*) it was necessary to do those those not (to be leaving aside. *NK(o)*)
24 Ye blinde gydes which strayne out a gnat and swalowe a cammyll.
Guides blind! you who [are] straining out the gnat, the however camel swallowing!
25 Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites which make clene ye vtter syde of the cuppe and of the platter: but within they are full of brybery and excesse.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, inwardly however they are full of greed and (self-indulgence. *NK(O)*)
26 Thou blinde Pharise clense fyrst the outsyde of the cup and platter that the ynneside of them maye be clene also.
Pharisee blind! do cleanse first the inside of the cup (and *KO*) (of the *ko*) (dish *KO*) that may become also the outside (of it *N(K)O*) clean.
27 Wo be to you Scribe and Pharises ypocrite for ye are lyke vnto paynted tombes which appere beautyfull outwarde: but are wt in full of deed bones and of all fylthynes.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! For (you resemble *NK(o)*) tombs whitewashed which outside indeed appear beautiful, Inside however they are full of bones of [the] dead and of all impurity.
28 So are ye for outwarde ye appere righteous vnto me when within ye are full of ypocrisie and iniquite.
Thus also you yourselves outside indeed appear to men righteous, inwardly however you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites: ye bylde the tombes of the Prophetes and garnisshe the sepulchres of the righteous
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous
30 and saye: Yf we had bene in the dayes of oure fathers we wolde not have bene parteners with them in the bloud of the Prophetes.
and you say; If (we were *N(k)O*) in the days of the fathers of us, not then would (we were ourselves being *N(k)O*) with them partakers in the blood of the prophets,
31 So then ye be witnesses vnto youre selfes that ye are the chyldren of them which killed the prophetes.
Thus you bear witness to yourselves that sons you are of those having murdered the prophets;
32 Fulfill ye lyke wyse the measure of youre fathers.
And you yourselves do fill up the measure of the fathers of you.
Serpents Offspring of vipers! How shall you escape from the sentence of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you prophetes wyse men and scribes and of the ye shall kyll and crucifie: and of the ye shall scourge in youre synagoges and persecute from cyte to cyte
Because of this behold I myself send to you prophets and wise [men] and scribes; (and *k*) Some of them you will kill and will crucify and [some] of them you will flog in the synagogues of you and will persecute from town to town;
35 that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude that was sheed vpon the erth fro the bloud of righteous Abell vnto ye bloud of zacharias the sonne of Barachias who ye slewe betwene the teple and ye altre.
so that may come upon you all [the] blood righteous being poured out upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous until the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36 Verely I say vnto you all these thinges shall light vpon this generacion.
Amen I say to you; (that *o*) will come these things all upon generation this.
37 Hierusalem hierusalem which kyllest prophetes and stonest the which are sent to the: how often wolde I have gadered thy chyldren to gether as the henne gadreth her chickes vnder her winges but ye wolde not:
Jerusalem Jerusalem you who [are] (killing *NK(o)*) the prophets and stoning those sent to her! How often I wanted to gathered together the children of you, in which way a hen gathers together the chicks (of her *N(k)O*) under the wings, and not you were willing?
38 Beholde youre habitacio shalbe lefte vnto you desolate.
Behold is left to you the house of you desolate!
39 For I saye to you ye shall not se me heceforthe tyll that ye saye: blessed is he that cometh in the name of ye Lorde.
I say for to you; certainly not Me shall you see from now until when you may say; Blessed [is] the [One] coming in [the] name of [the] Lord.’
