Matthew 23:6 in Context — Matthew 23

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.

5 E fazem todas as suas obras a fim de serem vistos pelas pessoas: por isso alargam seus filactérios, ) e fazem compridas as franjas de suas roupas.

6 Eles amam os primeiros assentos nas ceias, as primeiras cadeiras nas sinagogas,

7 as saudações nas praças, e serem chamados: “Rabi, Rabi” pelas pessoas.

8 Mas vós, não sejais chamados Rabi, porque o vosso Mestre é um: o Cristo; e todos vós sois irmãos.
