"But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men, for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers; therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation
15
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16
"Woe unto you, ye blind guides, who say, `Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.'
17
Ye fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18
And ye say, `Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is liable.'
19
Ye fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift
20
Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it and by all things thereon.
21
And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it and by Him that dwelleth therein
22
And he that shall swear by Heaven, sweareth by the throne of God and by Him that sitteth thereon.
23
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law: judgment, mercy, and faith. These ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone.
