«Esihlalweni sikaMose ababhali nabaFarisi bahlala.
Abakutshela kona, bakwenze futhi bakwenze, kepha ungenzi ngokwemisebenzi yabo, ngoba bayakusho futhi abakwenzi.
Babopha imithwalo esindayo bayibeke emahlombe abantu, kepha abafuni ukuyihambisa ngisho nangomunwe.
Yonke imisebenzi yabo bayenza ukuba bathandwe ngabesilisa: bandisa ifilimu yabo futhi bandisa imiphetho;
bathanda izindawo zokuhlonipha emihlanganweni emikhulu, izihlalo zokuqala emasinagogeni
nokubingelelwa ezigcawini, kanye nokubizwa ngokuthi "rabi" ngabantu.
Kepha ungazibizi ngokuthi “Rabi”, ngoba munye kuphela uthisha wakho futhi nonke niyizelamani.
Futhi ungabizi muntu ngokuthi "baba" emhlabeni, ngoba munye uYihlo, lowo wezulu.
Futhi lingabizwa ngokuthi “makhosi”, ngoba munye kuphela oyiNkosi yenu, uKristu.
Omkhulu phakathi kwakho uyinceku yakho;
labo abazovuka bazokwehliswa bese kuthi labo abaphansi benyuswe. "
