Ye fools and blind, for what is greater, the gold, or the temple that halloweth the gold?
18
And whoever sweareth in the altar [And whoever shall swear in the altar], it is nothing; but he that sweareth in the gift that is on the altar, oweth [is debtor].
19
Blind men, for what is more, the gift, or the altar that halloweth the gift
20
Therefore he that sweareth in the altar, sweareth in it, and in all things that be thereon.
21
And he that sweareth in the temple, sweareth in it, and in him that dwelleth in the temple
22
And he that sweareth in heaven, sweareth in the throne of God, and in him that sitteth thereon.
23
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, that tithe mint, anise, and cummin, and have left those things that be of more charge of the law, doom, and mercy, and faith. And it behooved to do these things [And these things it behooved, or needed, to do], and not to leave those.
24
Blind leaders, cleansing a gnat, but swallowing a camel.
25
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, that cleanse the cup and the platter withoutforth [that make clean that thing of the cup and of the platter, that is withoutforth]; but within ye be full of raven and uncleanness.
26
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the cup and the platter withinforth, that that that is withoutforth be made clean. [+Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that thing of the cup and platter which is within, that also that thing that is withoutforth be made clean.]
27
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, that be like to sepulchres whited [that be like to sepulchres made white], which withoutforth seem fair to men; but within they be full of bones of dead men, and of all filth.
