1 Tada Isus reče k narodu i učenicima svojim 2 govoreći: Na Mojsijevu stolicu sedoše književnici i fariseji. 3 Sve dakle što vam kažu da držite, držite i tvorite; ali šta oni čine ne činite; jer govore a ne čine. 4 Nego vežu bremena teška i nezgodna za nošenje, i tovare na pleća ljudska; a prstom svojim neće da ih prihvate. 5 A sva dela svoja čine da ih vide ljudi: raširuju svoje amajlije, i grade velike skute na haljinama svojim. 6 I traže začelje na gozbama i prva mesta po zbornicama, 7 i da im se klanja po ulicama, i da ih ljudi zovu: Ravi! Ravi! 8 A vi se ne zovite Ravi; jer je u vas jedan Ravi Hristos, a vi ste svi braća. 9 I ocem ne zovite nikoga na zemlji; jer je u vas jedan Otac koji je na nebesima. 10 Niti se zovite Učitelji; jer je u vas jedan učitelj Hristos. 11 A najveći između vas da vam bude sluga. 12 Jer koji se podiže, poniziće se, a koji se ponižuje, podignuće se. 13 Teško vama književnici i fariseji, licemeri, što zatvarate carstvo nebesko od ljudi; jer vi ne ulazite niti date da ulaze koji bi hteli. 14 Teško vama književnici i fariseji, licemeri, što jedete kuće udovičke, i lažno se Bogu molite dugo; zato ćete većma biti osuđeni. 15 Teško vama književnici i fariseji, licemeri, što prohodite more i zemlju da bi prisvojili jednog, i kad ga prisvojite, činite ga sinom paklenim, udvoje većim od sebe. 16 Teško vama vođe slepe koji govorite: Ako se ko kune crkvom ništa je; a ako se ko kune zlatom crkvenim kriv je. 17 Budale slepe! Šta je veće, ili zlato, ili crkva koja zlato osveti. 18 I ako se ko kune oltarom ništa je to, a koji se kune darom koji je na njemu kriv je. 19 Budale slepe! Šta je veće, ili dar, ili oltar koji dar osveti? 20 Koji se dakle kune oltarom, kune se njim i svim što je na njemu. 21 I koji se kune crkvom, kune se njom i Onim što živi u njoj. 22 I koji se kune nebom, kune se prestolom Božjim i Onim koji sedi na njemu. 23 Teško vama književnici i fariseji, licemeri, što dajete desetak od metvice i od kopra i od kima, a ostaviste šta je najpretežnije u zakonu: pravdu i milost i veru; a ovo je trebalo činiti i ono ne ostavljati. 24 Vođe slepe koji oceđujete komarca a kamilu proždirete. 25 Teško vama književnici i fariseji, licemeri što čistite spolja čašu i zdelu a iznutra su pune grabeža i nepravde. 26 Fariseju slepi! Očisti najpre iznutra čašu i zdelu da budu i spolja čiste. 27 Teško vama književnici i fariseji, licemeri, što ste kao okrečeni grobovi, koji se spolja vide lepi a unutra su puni kostiju mrtvačkih i svake nečistote. 28 Tako i vi spolja se pokazujete ljudima pravedni, a iznutra ste puni licemerja i bezakonja. 29 Teško vama književnici i fariseji, licemeri, što zidate grobove prorocima i krasite rake pravednika, 30 i govorite: Da smo mi bili u vreme svojih otaca, ne bismo s njima pristali u krv proroka. 31 Tim samo svedočite za sebe da ste sinovi onih koji su pobili proroke. 32 I vi dopunite meru otaca svojih. 33 Zmije, porodi aspidini! Kako ćete pobeći od presude u oganj pakleni? 34 Zato evo ja ću k vama poslati proroke i premudre i književnike; i vi ćete jedne pobiti i raspeti a jedne biti po zbornicama svojim i goniti od grada do grada, 35 da dođe na vas sva krv pravedna što je prolivena na zemlji od krvi Avelja pravednog do krvi Zarije sina Varahijinog, koga ubiste među crkvom i oltarom. 36 Zaista vam kažem da će ovo sve doći na rod ovaj. 37 Jerusalime, Jerusalime, koji ubijaš proroke i zasipaš kamenjem poslane k sebi! Koliko puta hteh da skupim čeda tvoja kao što kokoš skuplja piliće svoje pod krila i ne hteste! 38 Eto će vam se ostaviti vaša kuća pusta. 39 Jer vam kažem: Nećete mene videti odsele dok ne kažete: Blagoslovljen koji ide u ime Gospodnje.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Then. When? When He had said these things, when He had stopped their mouths; when He had brought them that they should no more dare to tempt Him; when He had shown their state incurable. And since He had made mention of "the Lord" and "my Lord," He recurs again to the law.

Jesus, therefore, will be to them the author and teacher of such transgression, inasmuch as He commanded that one Being should be called Father, thus imposing upon them the necessity of confessing the Creator as their Father, as has been pointed out.
Therefore, says the Lord, "Cleanse that which is within, and the outside shall be clean also." He then says that God Himself,--not anything received from Him, but Himself,--is his portion.

Herewith towards the end also He was upbraiding them, when He said, "Ye bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, but ye will not move them with your finger," and, "ye pay tithe of mint and anise, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith." Well then, I think that these are comprehended in …

They forgot that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten, speaks in like manner concerning Himself to Jerusalem, How often would I have gathered thy children together even as a hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and ye would not.
