Matthew 23:16-17

NLT

NIV

16 “Blind guides! What sorrow awaits you! For you say that it means nothing to swear ‘by God’s Temple,’ but that it is binding to swear ‘by the gold in the Temple.’
16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’
17 Blind fools! Which is more important—the gold or the Temple that makes the gold sacred?
17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
