Matthew 23:12

Matthew 23:12

10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.

11 But ^ahe who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

12 ^aAnd whoever exalts himself will be¹ humbled, and he who humbles himself will be² exalted.

13 “But ^awoe 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! ^aFor you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Matthew 23:11

Matthew 23:13 >>

Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and he that shall humble himself shall he exalted - It is observable that no one sentence of our Lord's is so often repeated as this: it occurs, with scarce any variation, at least ten times in the evangelists. Luke 14:11; Luke 18:14.
