Yesaya 1: 10, 16-20
| 1:10 | Dengarkan Firman Tuhan, kamu pemimpin-pemimpin orang Sodom. Dengarlah dengan teliti hukum Tuhan kita, Wahai penduduk Gomora. |
| 1:16 | Basuh, menjadi bersih, hilangkan niat jahatmu dari mataku. Berhenti untuk bertindak songsang. |
| 1:17 | Belajarlah berbuat baik. Cari penghakiman, menyokong orang yang tertindas, hakim untuk anak yatim, membela janda. |
| 1:18 | Dan kemudian mendekati dan menuduh saya, firman Tuhan. Kemudian, jika dosamu seperti merah, mereka akan menjadi putih seperti salji; dan jika mereka merah seperti vermillion, mereka akan menjadi putih seperti bulu. |
| 1:19 | Jika anda sudi, dan awak dengar cakap saya, maka kamu akan makan hasil bumi yang baik. |
| 1:20 | Tetapi jika anda tidak sudi, dan anda membangkitkan kemarahan saya, maka pedang akan memakan kamu. Kerana mulut Tuhan telah berfirman. |
Injil
Matthew 23: 1-12
23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds, and to his disciples,
23:2 berkata: “The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in the chair of Moses.
23:3 Oleh itu, all things whatsoever that they shall say to you, observe and do. Namun sebenarnya, 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, 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 berada di syurga.
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.
