Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum (23,8-12)
In illo tempore: Dixit Iesus ad discipulos suos: Vos nolíte vocári Rabbi; unus enim est Magíster vester, omnes autem vos fratres estis. Et Patrem nolíte vocáre vobis super terram, unus enim est Pater vester, cæléstis. Nec vocémini Magístri, quia Magíster vester unus est, Christus. Qui maíor est vestrum, erit miníster vester. Qui autem se exaltáverit, humiliábitur; et, qui se humiliáverit, exaltábitur.
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your Master, and all you are brethren. And call none Father to yourself upon earth: for one is your Father, he that is in Heaven. Neither be ye called Masters: for one is your Master, Christ. He that is the greater of you, shall be your servitor. And he that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
