You Have Only One Father

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,  “The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.   So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach.    They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.

“Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels.   And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues.   They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi.

“Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters.   And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your spiritual Father.    And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah.   The greatest among you must be a servant.   But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
