eth out of the Mouth, this with MEATS, which have not prodefileth a Man. Then came therein. fited them that have been occupied his Disciples, and faid unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharifees were offended, after they heard this Saying? But he answered and faid, Every Plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind Leaders of the Blind. And if the Blind lead the Blind, both shall fall into the Ditch. Then answered Peter and faid unto him, Declare unto us this Parable. [M.) And Jefus faid, Do not ye yet understand, [Mr.] that whatsoever Thing from without entreth into the Man, it cannot defile him; because it entreth not into his Heart, but [M.] goeth into the Belly, and is caft out into the Draught, [Mr.] purging all Meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the Man, that defileth the Man. For from within, out of the (a) HEART of Men, proceed evil Thoughts, Adulteries, Fornications, Murders, Thefts, Covetousness, [M.] False Witness, [Mr.] Wickedness, Deceit, Lafciviousness, an evil Eye, Blafphemy, Pride, Foolishness: All these evil Things come from within; and [M.] these are the Things which defile a Man: but to eat with unwashen Hands, defileth not a Man. Matt. ix. 10. And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at Meat in the House, behold, many Publicans and Sinners came and fat down with him and his Disciples. 11. And when the Pharifees faw it, they faid unto his Difciples, Why eateth your Maffer with Publicans and Sinners ? 12. But when Jesus heard that, he faid unto them, They that (a) Gen. vi. 5. And God saw that the WICKEDNESS of Man was IMAGINATION of the THOUGHTS great in the Earth, and that every of his Heart was only EVIL continually. 1 Sam. xvi. 7. For the Lord seeth not as Man seeth; for Man looketh on the outward Appearance, but the Lord LOOKETH on the HEART. in Heart heap up Wrath: they cту Job xxxvi. 13. But the Hypocrites not when he bindeth them. Psalm li. 10. Create in me a CLEAN HEART, O God, and renew a RIGHT SPIRIT within me. Pf. xiv. 1. The Fool hath faid in his Heart, There is NO GOD: They are CORRUPT, they have done abodoth Goor. minable Works, there is none that Prov. vi. 16. These fix Things doth the LORD hate; yea, seven are an Abomination unto him: 17. A proud Look, a lying Tongue, and Hands that shed innocent Blood. 18. An Heart that deviseth wickin running to Mifchief. ed Imaginations, Feet that be swift 19. A false Witness that speaketh Lyes, and him that foweth Difcord among Brethren. Chap. iv. 23. Keep thy HEART with all Diligence: for out of it are the Iffues of LIFE. Chap. xvi. 1. The Preparations of the that be whole need not a Phyfician, but they that are fick. 13. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have Mercy, and not Sacrifice: for I am not come to call the Righteous, but Sinners to REPENTANCE. 14. Then came to him the Disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharifees fast oft, but thy Difciples fast not? 15. And Jefus faid unto them, Can the Children of the Bride-chamber mourn, as long as the Bridegroom is with them? But the Days will come, when the Bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they faft. 16. No Man putteth a Piece of new Cloth unto an old Garment: for that which is put in to fill it up, taketh from the Garment, and the Rent is made worse. 17. Neither do Men put new Wine into old Bottles : else the Bottles break, and the Wine runneth out, and the Bottles perish: But they put new Wine into new Bottles, and both are preferved. Luke xi. 37. And as he spake, a certain Pharifee befought him to dine with him: and he went in, and fat down to Meat. the Heart in Man, and the Answer of the Tongue, is from the Lord. 5. Every one that is PROUD in Heart, is an Abomination to the Lord: tho' Hand join in Hand, he shall not be unpunished. Chap. xxi. 2. Every Way of a Man is right in his own Eyes: but the LORD PONDERETH the Hearts. Chap. xxiv. 12. If thou sayst, Behold, we knew it not: doth he that pondereth the Heart confider it? and he that keepeth thy Soul, doth not he know it? and shall he not render to every Man according to his WORKS? Chap. xxviii. 26. He that trusteth in his own Heart, is a Fool: but whoso walketh wifely, he shall be delivered. Ecclef. viii. 11. Because Sentence against an evil Work is not executed speedily; therefore the Heart of the Sons of Men is fully fet in them to do EVIL. Chap. ix. 3. This is an EVIL a mong all things that are done un the Sun, that there is one Event unto all: yea, also the Heart of the Sons of Men is full of EVIL, and MADNESS is in their Heart while they live, and after that they go to the DEAD. Jerem. xi. 20. But, O Lord of Hosts, that JUDGEST righteoufly, that TRIEST the REINS and the HEART, let me see thy Vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my Caufe. Chap. iv. 14. O Jerusalem, WASH thine HEART from Wickedness, that thou mayst be saved: how long shall thy vain Thoughts lodge within thee? Chap. xvii. 9. The Heart is deceitful above all things, and defperately wicked, who can know it? 38. And when the Pharifee faw it, he marvelled that he 10. I the LORD, search the Heart, I try the Reins, even to give every Man according to his WAYS, and according to the Fruit of his Do INGS. Rom. ii. 4. Or despisest thou the Riches of his Goodness, and Forbearance, and Long-fuffering, not knowing that the GOODNESS of God leadeth thee to Repentance ? 5. But after thy hardness and impenitent he had not first washed before Dinner. 39. And the Lord faid unto him, Now do ye Pharifees make clean the outside of the Cup and the Platter: but your INWARD PART is full of RAVENING and WICKEDNESS. 40. Ye Fools, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also? 41. But rather give Alms of such things as you have: and behold, all things are clean unto you. 42. But wo unto you Pharifees: for ye tithe Mint and penitentHeart, treasurest up unto thy 6. Who will render to every Man Rom. x. 10. For with the Heart Man believeth unto Righteousness; Heb. iv. 12. For the Word of 13. Neither is there any Creature thaat is not MANIFEST in his Sight: but all things are naked, and opened to the Eyes of him with whom we have to do. Rue, and all manner of Herbs, and pass over JUDGMENT and the Love of GOD: These ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 43. Wo unto you, Pharifees: for ye love the uppermost Seats in the Synagogues, and Greetings in the Markets. 44. Wo unto you Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES: for ye are as Graves which appear not, and the Men that walk over them, are not aware of them. 45. Then answered one of the Lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus faying, thou reproachest us also. 46. And he faid, Wo unto you also, ye Lawyers: for ye lade Men with Burdens grievous to be born, and ye your felves touch not the Burdens with one of your Fingers. 52. Wo unto you, Lawyers: for ye have taken away the Key of Knowledge: ye entred not in your selves, and them that were entring in, ye hindred. 53. And as he faid these Things unto them, the Scribes and the Pharifees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to fpeak of many Things; 54. Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch fomething out of his Mouth, that they might accuse him. Matt. xxiii. 1. Then spake Jesus to the Multitude, and to his Disciples, 2. Saying, The Scribes and the Pharisees fit in Moses 3. AN Seat. : 3. All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their Works: for they fay, and do not. 4. For they bind heavy Burdens, and grievous to be born, and lay them on Mens Shoulders, but they themfelves will not move them with one of their Fingers. 5. But all their Works they do, for to be seen of Men: they make broad their Phylacteries, and enlarge the Borders of their Garments, 6. And love the uppermost Rooms at Feasts, and the chief Seats in the Synagogues, 7. And greetings in the Markets, and to be called of Men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Chrift, and all ye are Brethren. 9. And call no Man your Father upon the Earth: for one is your Father which is in Heaven. 10. Neither be ye called Masters: for one is your Mafter, even Chrift. 11. But he that is greatest among you, shall be your Servant. 12. And whosoever shall EXALT himself, shall be ABASED; and he that shall HUMBLE himself, shall be Ex ALTED. 13. But wo unto you Scribes and Pharifees, Hypocrites; for ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against Men: for ye neither go in your selves, neither suffer ye them that are entring, to go in. 14. Wo unto you Scribes and Pharifees, HYPOCRITES; for ye devour Widows Houses, and for a Pretence make long Prayer; therefore ye shall receive the greater DAMNATION. 15. Wo unto you Scribes and Pharifees, HYPOCRITES; for ye compass Sea and Land to make one Profelyte; and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the Child of Hell than your selves. 16. Wo unto you, ye blind Guides, which say, Whofoever shall swear by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoever shall swear by the Gold of the Temple, he is a Debter. 17. Ye Fools, and blind: for whether is greater, the Gold, or the Temple that sanctifieth the Gold? 18. And whosoever shall swear by the Altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the Gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19. Ye Fools, and blind: For whether is greater, the Gift, or the Altar that sanctifieth the Gift? 20. Whoso therefore shall swear by the Altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21. And whoso shall swear by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22. And he that shall swear by Heaven, sweareth by the Throne of God, and by him that fitteth thereon. 23. Wo unto you Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES; for ye pay Tithe of Mint, and Anife, and Cummin, and have omitted the weightier Matters of the Law, JUDGMENT, MERCY, and FAITH: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24. Ye BLIND GUIDES, which strain at a Gnat, and fwallow a Camel. 25. Wo unto you Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES; for ye make clean the outfide of the Cup and of the Platter, but within they are full EXTORTION and EXCESS. 26. Thou blind Pharifee, cleanse first that which is within the Cup and Platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27. Wo unto you Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES; for ye are like unto whited Sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead Mens Bones, and of all uncleanness. 28. Even so ye also outwardly appear RIGHTEOUS unto Men, but within ye are full of HYPOCRISY and INIQUITY. 29. Wo unto you Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES; because ye build the Tombs of the Prophets, and garnish the Sepulchres of the Righteous, 30. And say, If we had been in the Days of our Fathers, we would not have been Partakers with them in the Blood of the Prophets. 31. Wherefore ye be Witnesses unto your selves, that ye are the Children of them which killed the Prophets. 32. Fill ye up then the Measures of your Fathers. 33. Ye Serpents, ye Generation of Vipers, how can ye escape the Damnation of Hell ? 34. Wherefore behold, I fend unto you Prophets, and wife Men, and Scribes; and some of them ye shall kill and crucify, and some of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and perfecute them from City to City: |
