========================================================================= Paul Younan's Mattith-YaHu in plain text: The Preaching of Matthew

Chapter 23
1. Yeshua then spoke with the crowds and with his disciples. 2. And he said to them, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Moshe. 3. Therefore everything that they say to you that you should keep and do. But not according to their deeds, for they talk, but do not. 4. And they bind heavy burdens and place them upon the shoulders of the sons of men, but they to not desire to touch them with their fingers. 5. And they do all their deeds that they might be seen by the sons of men. For they widen their Tefillin1 and lengthen the Tekhelet2 of their robes. 6. And they love the chief places at festivals and the chief seats at the assembly. 7. And a greeting in the streets, and to be called Rabbi by men. 8. But you should not be called Rabbi, for one is your Rabbi and you are all brothers. 9. And do not call yourself Father For your Father is one who is in heaven. 10. And you should not be called leaders, because one is your leader, the Messiah. 11. But he who is greatest among you, let him be a minister to you. 12. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. 13. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you consume the houses of widows, and that for a pretense you lengthen your prayers. Because this you will receive a greater judgement. 14. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven before the sons of men. For you are not entering yourselves, and those who would enter you do not allow to enter. ========================================================================= Why verse 13 is replaced with verse 14 I do not know, other than that there are 3 word changes in a total of 4 places, and he changed the structure of one sentence toward the end only. Other than that there are some additions of footnote references, some quotation marks, and the vowel mark in the Name Yeshua. Every thing else is the exact same!!! The words are the same at the end and beginning of each line. Plus if we take away verse 13 out of Paul's text there are 14 lines apiece.
