23:1 那时，耶稣对群众和门徒讲论，说，
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,
23:2 经学家和法利赛人是坐在摩西的位上，
Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in Moses' seat;
23:3 所以，凡他们所告诉你们的，不论是什么，你们都要遵行、谨守；但不要照他们的行为去行，因为他们说而不行。
Therefore all that they tell you, do and keep; but do not do according to their works, for they say things and do not do them.
23:4 他们把沉重难担的担子捆起来，放在人的肩上，但自己连一个指头也不肯动。
And they bind burdens, heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
23:5 他们所作的一切事，都是为要给人看见；因为他们将佩戴的经文匣作宽了，衣穗也加长了；
And all their works they do to be seen by men, for they broaden their phylacteries and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
23:6 他们又喜爱筵席上的首座，并会堂里的高位，
And they love the place of honor at the dinners and the chief seats in the synagogues，
23:7 且喜爱人在市场上问他们安，称他们为拉比。
And the salutations in the marketplaces and to be called by men, Rabbi.
23:8 但你们不要受拉比的称呼，因为只有一位是你们的夫子，你们都是弟兄；
But you, do not be called Rabbi, for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.
23:9 也不要称地上的人为父，因为只有一位是你们的父，就是那天上的；
And do not call anyone on earth your father, for One is your Father, He who is in the heavens.
23:10 也不要受师尊的称呼，因为只有一位是你们的师尊，就是基督。
Neither be called instructors, because One is your Instructor, the Christ.
23:11 你们中间谁为大，谁就要作你们的仆役。
And the greatest among you shall be your servant.
23:12 凡高抬自己的，必降为卑；降卑自己的，必升为高。
And he who will exalt himself shall be humbled, and he who will humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13 假冒为善的经学家和法利赛人，你们有祸了！因为你们在人面前，把诸天的国关了；你们自己不进去，也不让那些要进去的人进去。
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you close off the kingdom of the heavens in the face of men; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to enter.
23:14 假冒为善的经学家和法利赛人，你们有祸了！因为你们侵吞寡妇的家产，假意作很长的祷告，所以你们要受更重的刑罚。
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour the widows' houses, even while for a pretense you make long prayers. For this reason you shall receive greater judgment.
23:15 假冒为善的经学家和法利赛人，你们有祸了！因为你们走遍洋海陆地，叫一个人入教，既入了教，却使他成为火坑之子，比你们还加倍。
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you go about the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
23:16 瞎眼领路的，你们有祸了！你们说，凡指着殿起誓的，算不得什么；只是凡指着殿中金子起誓的，他就该谨守。
Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound.
23:17 愚拙瞎眼的人，哪个是更大的，是金子，还是叫金子成圣的殿？
Fools and blind men, which is greater, the gold or the temple which sanctifies the gold?
23:18 你们又说，凡指着坛起誓的，算不得什么；只是凡指着坛上礼物起誓的，他就该谨守。
And, Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift which is upon it, he is bound.
23:19 瞎眼的人，那个是更大的，是礼物，还是叫礼物成圣的坛？
Blind men, which is greater, the gift or the altar which sanctifies the gift?
23:20 所以指着坛起誓的，就是指着坛和坛上的一切起誓；
Therefore he who swears by the altar swears by it and by all the things upon it;
23:21 指着殿起誓的，就是指着殿和那住在殿中的起誓；
And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by Him who dwells in it;
23:22 指着天起誓的，就是指着神的宝座，和那坐在其上的起誓。
And he who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
