Matthew 23:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 23:5

3 Therefore whatever they tell you¹ to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for ^athey say, and do not do.

4 ^aFor 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 ^abe seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.

6 ^aThey 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.’
