1 Então Jesus falou às multidões e aos seus discípulos,

2 dizendo: Os escribas e os fariseus se sentam sobre o assento de Moisés.

3 Portanto, tudo o que eles vos disserem que guardeis, guardai, e fazei. Mas não façais segundo as suas obras, porque eles dizem e não fazem.

4 Pois eles amarram cargas pesadas e difíceis de levar, e as põem sobre os ombros das pessoas; porém eles nem sequer com o seu dedo as querem mover.
