KBF- Who is my Sempai? (Upperclassman)
Matthew 23:1-12
1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2The teachers of he law and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat. 3So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves and not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels of their prayer shawls long; 6They love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi'
8But you are not to be called 'Rabbi' for you have only one master and you are all brothers. 9And do not call anyone on earth father, for you have one father, and he is in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called 'teacher' for you have one teacher, the Christ. 11The greatest among you will be your servant. 12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
