Matthew 23:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 “The scribes and the Pharisees are seated in the chair of Moses.[a](A) 3 Therefore do whatever they tell you, and observe it. But don’t do what they do,[b] because they don’t practice what they teach.(B) 4 They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry[c] and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger[d] to move them.(C)
