the hypocrites, the mournful (of) |when you fast, be not as the sad

24 No man is able to serve two |24. At that time said Yeshua to His
masters: for either he will hate |talmidim: Not any man is able to
the one, and love the other; or |serve unto two lords, but only
else he will hold to the one, and |the one he hates, and the other
despise the other. You cannot serve|(he) loves; or unto one he honors,
