All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| Matthew 22:38 | This is the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) first and greatest commandment. |
| Matthew 22:39 | And a second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ |
| Matthew 22:40 | On these two commandments depends the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) whole Law and the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) Prophets.” |
| Matthew 22:41 | Now while the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) Pharisees were assembled, Jesus put this question to them: |
| Matthew 22:42 | “What do you think about the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Messiah? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.” |
| Matthew 22:44 | ‘The Lord said to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) my Lord, “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet”’? |
| Matthew 22:46 | And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did anyone dare to question him any more from that day on. |
| Matthew 23:1 | Then Jesus spoke to the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) crowds and to (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) his disciples, |
| Matthew 23:2 | saying, “The (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) scribes and the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) Pharisees now occupy the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) chair of Moses. |
| Matthew 23:3 | Therefore put into practice and continue to do whatever they tell you; but do not imitate what they do, for they teach but do not practice. |
| Matthew 23:4 | For they tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) their finger. |
| Matthew 23:5 | They do all their deeds to be seen by (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) others: they make their phylacteries broad and their (ta | τά | acc pl neut) tassels long, |
| Matthew 23:6 | they love the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) place of honor at banquets and the (tas | τάς | acc pl fem) most important seats in the (tais | ταῖς | dat pl fem) synagogues, |
| Matthew 23:7 | and greetings in the (tais | ταῖς | dat pl fem) marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. |
| Matthew 23:8 | But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have but one teacher, and you are all brothers. |
| Matthew 23:9 | And do not call anyone on earth your ‘father,’ for you have but one Father, and he (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) is in heaven. |
| Matthew 23:10 | Nor should you be called ‘instructors,’ because Christ is your only instructor. |
| Matthew 23:11 | The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) greatest among you will be your servant. |
| Matthew 23:13 | “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) kingdom of (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) heaven in men’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who would enter to go in. |
| Matthew 23:15 | “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel over land and sea to gain a single convert; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. |
| Matthew 23:16 | “Woe to you, blind guides who (hoi | οἱ | voc pl masc) say, ‘If someone swears by the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) temple it means nothing; but if someone swears by the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) gold of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) temple, he is bound by his oath.’ |
| Matthew 23:17 | You fools and blind men! For which is greater, the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) gold or the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) temple that (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) makes the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) gold sacred? |
| Matthew 23:18 | And you say, ‘If someone swears by the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) altar it means nothing; but if someone swears by the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) gift that (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) is on it, he is bound by his oath.’ |
| Matthew 23:19 | How blind you are! For which is greater, the (to | τό | nom sg neut) gift or the (to | τό | nom sg neut) altar that (to | τό | nom sg neut) makes the (to | τό | acc sg neut) gift sacred? |
| Matthew 23:20 | So the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who swears by the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) altar, swears not only by it but by everything on it. |
