God's Word
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach hey tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. "Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries {5 That is, boxes containing Scripture verses, worn on forehead and arm} wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; They love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.' "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he Is in heaven. Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ.Matthew23:1-10
