Matthew 23:6 in Context — Matthew 23

4 Porque atan cargas pesadas y difíciles de llevar, y las ponen sobre los hombros de los hombres; mas ni aun con su dedo las quieren mover.

5 Antes, todas sus obras hacen para ser mirados de los hombres; porque ensanchan sus filacterias, y extienden los flecos de sus mantos;

6 Y aman los primeros asientos en las cenas, y las primeras sillas en las sinagogas;

7 Y las salutaciones en las plazas, y ser llamados de los hombres Rabbí, Rabbí.

8 Mas vosotros, no queráis ser llamados Rabbí; porque uno es vuestro Maestro, el Cristo; y todos vosotros sois hermanos.
