[Elsie]

(Matthew 23:1-3)   Elsie, do you obey Jesus, and observe and do all of the things the scribes and Pharisees bid you to do, Elsie, as Jesus instructed in that same chapter?

 

 

Golly; I don't know??  Let's see!

 

 

 

Matthew 23:1-3 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,

² Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.

³ All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.

 

 

 

Have you a LIST of them??   (Also; I don't see any "This is my command..." like you've earlier inferred MUST be needed.)

[Songcraft]

So, the man named Elsie obeys Jesus when the man named Elsie obeys Jesus, and the man named Elsie doesn't obey Jesus when the man named Elsie doesn't obey Jesus.   I got you, Elsie!

(I must go do some real work now, so, cheerio, Elsie!)
