Matthew 5:20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness shall abound more than that of the scribes * and the Pharishee, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. * Sophree. This order of public teachers (the preaching and writing clergy of the Jews) does not seem sufficiently indicated by the word " scribes " in the English version. Luther well renders the corresponding Greek term by Schriftgelehrten.
