"They say and don't"
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Matthew (23, 1-12)
At that time Jesus addressed the crowds and his disciples, and he said, “The scribes and the Pharisees teach in the pulpit of Moses. So whatever they can tell you, just do it and watch it. But do not act after their deeds, for they say and do not. They tie up heavy burdens, which are difficult to carry, and they put them on the shoulders of the people; but they themselves do not want to move them with their fingers. All their actions, they do to be noticed by people: they widen their phylacteries and lengthen their fringes; they like places of honor at dinners, seats of honor in synagogues and greetings in public places; they like to receive the title of Rabbi from people. For you, do not be given the title of Rabbi, for you have only one master to teach you, and you are all brothers. Do not call anyone on earth the name of father, for you have only one Father, who is in heaven. Do not be given the title of masters either, because you have only one teacher, Christ. The greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, whoever humbles himself will be exalted. "
