Matthew 23:12 in Context — Matthew 23

10 Ni seáis llamados maestros; porque uno es vuestro Maestro, el Cristo.

11 El que es el mayor de vosotros, sea vuestro siervo.

12 Porque el que se ensalzare, será humillado; y el que se humillare, será ensalzado.

13 Mas ¡ay de vosotros, escribas y Fariseos, hipócritas! porque cerráis el reino de los cielos delante de los hombres; que ni vosotros entráis, ni á los que están entrando dejáis entrar.

14 ¡Ay de vosotros, escribas y Fariseos, hipócritas! porque coméis las casas de las viudas, y por pretexto hacéis larga oración: por esto llevaréis más grave juicio.
