Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
ཨནནྟརཾ ཡཱིཤུ རྫནནིཝཧཾ ཤིཥྱཱཾཤྩཱཝདཏ྄,
2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
ཨདྷྱཱཔཀཱཿ ཕིརཱུཤིནཤྩ མཱུསཱསནེ ཨུཔཝིཤནྟི,
3 All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
ཨཏསྟེ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ ཡདྱཏ྄ མནྟུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡནྟི, ཏཏ྄ མནྱདྷྭཾ པཱལཡདྷྭཉྩ, ཀིནྟུ ཏེཥཱཾ ཀརྨྨཱནུརཱུཔཾ ཀརྨྨ ན ཀུརུདྷྭཾ; ཡཏསྟེཥཱཾ ཝཱཀྱམཱཏྲཾ སཱརཾ ཀཱཪྻྱེ ཀིམཔི ནཱསྟི།
4 For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.

5 But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

7 the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
ཧཊྛེ ནམསྐཱརཾ གུརུརིཏི སམྦོདྷནཉྩཻཏཱནི སཪྻྭཱཎི ཝཱཉྪནྟི།
8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.

15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
