Matthew 23:7-12 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. They love people to show respect to them in the marketplaces. And they love to have people call them ‘Teacher.’

8. “But you must not be called ‘Teacher.’ You are all brothers and sisters together. You have only one Teacher.

9. And don’t call any person on earth ‘Father.’ You have one Father. He is in heaven.

10. And you should not be called ‘Master.’ You have only one Master, the Christ.

11. He who serves you as a servant is the greatest among you.

12. Whoever makes himself great will be made humble. Whoever makes himself humble will be made great.
