4 And they tie up heavy burdens[a] and put them[b] on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing with their finger to move them. 5 And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries broad and make their[c] tassels long. 6 And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues
