Context: Mat 23:01 Then said Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples,
Mat 23:2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat;
Mat 23:3 so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice.
Mat 23:4 They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
