1. Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2. Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
3. All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.
4. For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them.
