- 1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds, and to his disciples,
- 2 saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in the chair of Moses.
- 3 Therefore, all things whatsoever that they shall say to you, observe and do. Yet truly, do not choose to act according to their works. For they say, but they do not do.
- 4 For they bind up heavy and unbearable burdens, and they impose them on men’s shoulders. But they are not willing to move them with even a finger of their own.
- 5 Truly, they do all their works so that they may be seen by men. For they enlarge their phylacteries and glorify their hems.
- 6 And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
- 7 and greetings in the marketplace, and to be called Master by men.
- 8 But you must not be called Master. For One is your Master, and you are all brothers.
- 9 And do not choose to call anyone on earth your father. For One is your Father, who is in heaven.
- 10 Neither should you be called teachers. For One is your Teacher, the Christ.
- 11 Whoever is greater among you shall be your minister.
- 12 But whoever has exalted himself, shall be humbled. And whoever has humbled himself, shall be exalted.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
