Matthew 23:2-4 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
          3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
          4They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

— Matthew 23:2-4
