Yesaya 1: 10, 16-20
| 1:10 | Dengarkan Firman Tuhan, Anda para pemimpin orang Sodom. Dengarkan baik-baik hukum Allah kita, Wahai penduduk Gomora. |
| 1:16 | Mencuci, menjadi bersih, singkirkan kejahatan niatmu dari mataku. Berhenti bertindak menyimpang. |
| 1:17 | Belajar berbuat baik. Cari penilaian, mendukung yang tertindas, hakim anak yatim, membela janda. |
| 1:18 | Dan kemudian mendekati dan menuduh saya, kata Tuhan. Kemudian, jika dosamu seperti kirmizi, mereka akan dibuat putih seperti salju; dan jika mereka merah seperti vermilion, mereka akan menjadi putih seperti wol. |
| 1:19 | Jika Anda bersedia, dan Anda mendengarkan saya, maka kamu akan memakan hasil yang baik dari negeri itu. |
| 1:20 | Tetapi jika Anda tidak bersedia, dan Anda memprovokasi saya untuk marah, maka pedang akan melahapmu. Karena mulut Tuhan telah berbicara. |
Injil
Matius 23: 1-12
23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds, and to his disciples,
23:2 pepatah: “The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in the chair of Moses.
23:3 Karena itu, all things whatsoever that they shall say to you, observe and do. Namun sungguh, do not choose to act according to their works. For they say, but they do not do.
23:4 For they bind up heavy and unbearable burdens, and they impose them on men’s shoulders. But they are not willing to move them with even a finger of their own.
23:5 Sungguh-sungguh, they do all their works so that they may be seen by men. For they enlarge their phylacteries and glorify their hems.
23:6 And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
23:7 and greetings in the marketplace, and to be called Master by men.
23:8 But you must not be called Master. For One is your Master, and you are all brothers.
23:9 And do not choose to call anyone on earth your father. For One is your Father, yang ada di surga.
23:10 Neither should you be called teachers. For One is your Teacher, the Christ.
23:11 Whoever is greater among you shall be your minister.
23:12 But whoever has exalted himself, shall be humbled. And whoever has humbled himself, shall be exalted.
