CCEL Footnote 2763 (In-Text, Margin)

... lengthen the cords of their cloaks, [35] and love that they should be called by men, My master, and devour widows’ houses, because of their prolonging their prayers; these then shall receive greater judgement. [36] But ye, be ye not called masters: for your master is one; all ye are brethren. [37] Call not then to yourselves any one father on earth: for your Father is one, who is [38] in heaven. And be not called directors: for your director is one, even the Messiah. [39, 40][Matthew 23:11] He that is great among you shall be unto you a minister. Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and whosoever shall abase himself shall be exalted.
