Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
|
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
|
For 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.

Compare πράσσω (prássō) G4238.
