☆ Gospel:Matthew 23:1-12
1
Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples:
2
The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;
3
All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.
4
They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them
5
But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,
6
And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,
7
And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.
8
But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.
9
And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.
10
And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.
11
But let the greatest among you be your servant.
12
And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.

☆ Isaiah 1:10, 16-20
10
Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
16
Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;
17
Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow.
18
Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?
19
If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours;
20
But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.
