1. Khona uJesu wakhuluma ezixukwini nakubafundi bakhe,
2. wathi: “Ababhali nabaFarisi bahlezi esihlalweni sikaMose.
3. Ngakho-ke konke abanitshela khona, kwenzeni, nikugcine, kodwa ningenzi njengemisebenzi yabo; ngokuba bayakhuluma, bangenzi;
4. babopha imithwalo enzima, bayibeke emahlombe abantu; kepha bona abavumi ukuyifukula ngomunwe wabo.
5. “Kepha imisebenzi yonke yabo bayenza ukuba babonwe ngabantu; amafilakteriyu* abo bawenza abe banzi, bawenze abe makhulu amachopho.
6. Bathanda izindawo ezingenhla ekudleni nezihlalo eziphambili emasinagogeni,*
7. nokubingelelwa ezigcawini, nokubizwa ngabantu ngokuthi ‘Rabi’.
8. “Kepha nina maningabizwa ngokuthi ‘Rabi’; ngokuba munye umfundisi wenu, nina nonke ningabazalelwane.
9. Ningabizi muntu emhlabeni ngokuthi uyihlo; ngokuba munye uyihlo, osezulwini.
10. Futhi ningabizwa ngokuthi abaholi; ngokuba munye umholi wenu, uKristu.
11. Kodwa omkhulu kini akabe yisikhonzi senu.
