Those who asked Me, your teachers and interpreters of the Law, say the same, but their actions do not square with their words.

You may believe their words, but you must not imitate their deeds.

They exact the uttermost from you, but do not themselves stir a finger.

And what good they do, is done in the eyes of the people, so that they may win praise.

They like to take the first place at festivals, and to be greeted on all sides as the expounders of Holy Writ.
