23:24 Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel1!
23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter1, but within they are full from extortion and excess.
23:26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter1, that the outside thereof may become clean also.
23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres1, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets1, and garnish the tombs of the righteous,
23:33 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers1, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell?
23:34 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes1: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues2, and persecute from city to city:
23:35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah1 son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.
23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem1, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate1.
23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord1.
