Matthew 23:5 in context

  1. 3all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.
  2. 4Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
  3. 5But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
  4. 6and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
  5. 7and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
