Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Tunc Jesus locutus est ad turbas, et ad discipulos suos,
1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2dicens: Super cathedram Moysi sederunt scribæ et pharisæi.
2Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
3Omnia ergo quæcumque dixerint vobis, servate, et facite: secundum opera vero eorum nolite facere: dicunt enim, et non faciunt.
3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4Alligant enim onera gravia, et importabilia, et imponunt in humeros hominum: digito autem suo nolunt ea movere.
4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5Omnia vero opera sua faciunt ut videantur ab hominibus: dilatant enim phylacteria sua, et magnificant fimbrias.
5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6Amant autem primos recubitus in cœnis, et primas cathedras in synagogis,
6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7et salutationes in foro, et vocari ab hominibus Rabbi.
7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8Vos autem nolite vocari Rabbi: unus est enim magister vester, omnes autem vos fratres estis.
8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9Et patrem nolite vocare vobis super terram: unus est enim pater vester qui in cælis est.
9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10Nec vocemini magistri: quia magister vester unus est, Christus.
10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11Qui major est vestrum, erit minister vester.
11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12Qui autem se exaltaverit, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliaverit, exaltabitur.
12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13Væ autem vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia clauditis regnum cælorum ante homines ! vos enim non intratis, nec introëuntes sinitis intrare.
13¶ But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves , neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia comeditis domos viduarum, orationes longas orantes ! propter hoc amplius accipietis judicium.
14Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia circuitis mare, et aridam, ut faciatis unum proselytum, et cum fuerit factus, facitis eum filium gehennæ duplo quam vos.
15Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16Væ vobis duces cæci, qui dicitis: Quicumque juraverit per templum, nihil est: qui autem juraverit in auro templi, debet.
16Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17Stulti et cæci: quid enim majus est? aurum, an templum, quod sanctificat aurum?
17Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18Et quicumque juraverit in altari, nihil est: quicumque autem juraverit in dono, quod est super illud, debet.
18And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19Cæci: quid enim majus est, donum, an altare, quod sanctificat donum?
19Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20Qui ergo jurat in altari, jurat in eo, et in omnibus quæ super illud sunt.
20Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21Et quicumque juraverit in templo, jurat in illo, et in eo qui habitat in ipso:
21And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22et qui jurat in cælo, jurat in throno Dei, et in eo qui sedet super eum.
22And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, qui decimatis mentham, et anethum, et cyminum, et reliquistis quæ graviora sunt legis, judicium, et misericordiam, et fidem ! hæc oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise 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.
24Duces cæci, excolantes culicem, camelum autem glutientes.
24Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia mundatis quod deforis est calicis et paropsidis; intus autem pleni estis rapina et immunditia !
25Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26Pharisæe cæce, munda prius quod intus est calicis, et paropsidis, ut fiat id, quod deforis est, mundum.
26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, quia similes estis sepulchris dealbatis, quæ a foris parent hominibus speciosa, intus vero pleni sunt ossibus mortuorum, et omni spurcitia !
27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
28Sic et vos a foris quidem paretis hominibus justi: intus autem pleni estis hypocrisi et iniquitate.
28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29Væ vobis scribæ et pharisæi hypocritæ, qui ædificatis sepulchra prophetarum, et ornatis monumenta justorum,
29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30et dicitis: Si fuissemus in diebus patrum nostrorum, non essemus socii eorum in sanguine prophetarum !
30And 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.
31itaque testimonio estis vobismetipsis, quia filii estis eorum, qui prophetas occiderunt.
31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32Et vos implete mensuram patrum vestrorum.
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33Serpentes, genimina viperarum, quomodo fugietis a judicio gehennæ?
33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34Ideo ecce ego mitto ad vos prophetas, et sapientes, et scribas, et ex illis occidetis, et crucifigetis, et ex eis flagellabitis in synagogis vestris, et persequemini de civitate in civitatem:
34¶ Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35ut veniat super vos omnis sanguis justus, qui effusus est super terram, a sanguine Abel justi usque ad sanguinem Zachariæ, filii Barachiæ, quem occidistis inter templum et altare.
35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36Amen dico vobis, venient hæc omnia super generationem istam.
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37Jerusalem, Jerusalem, quæ occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos, qui ad te missi sunt, quoties volui congregare filios tuos, quemadmodum gallina congregat pullos suos sub alas, et noluisti?
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta.
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39Dico enim vobis, non me videbitis amodo, donec dicatis: Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini.
39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
