Matthew 23:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 23:6

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.’

8 ^aBut you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your¹ Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.

9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; ^afor One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
