16
Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple is a debtor.
17
Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18
And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.
19
Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifieth the gift
20
He therefore that sweareth by the altar sweareth by it and by all things that are upon it.
21
And whosoever shall swear by the temple sweareth by it and by him that dwelleth in it
22
And he that sweareth by heaven sweareth by the throne of God and by him that sitteth thereon.
23
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint and anise and cummin and have left the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and faith. These things you ought to have done and not to leave those undone.
24
Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.
25
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.
26
Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean.
