Matthew 23 📜 📕 ↷
13 But woe to you Scribes & Pharisees, hypocrites: because you shut the Kingdom of Heaven before men. For your selves do not enter in: & those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.📜💬📚
14 Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you devour widows' houses, praying long prayers. For this you shall receive the greater judgement.📜💬📚
15 Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you go round about the sea and the land, to make one proselyte: and when he is made, you make him the child of hell double more than yourselves.📜💬📚
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 bound.📜💬📚
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 bound.📜💬📚
19 Ye 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, judgement, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, & not to have omitted those.📜💬📚
24 Blind guides, that strain a gnat, and swallow a camel.📜💬📚
25 Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites: because you make clean that, on the outside of the cup and dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.📜💬📚
26 Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and the dish that the outside may become clean.📜💬📚
27 Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites: because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear unto men beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones, and all filthiness.📜💬📚
28 So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.📜💬📚
29 Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites: because you build the Prophets' sepulchres, and garnish the monuments of just men,📜💬📚
30 and say: If we had been in our fathers' days, we had not been their fellows in the blood of the Prophets.📜💬📚
31 Therefore you are a testimony to your own selves, that you are the sons of them that killed the Prophets.📜💬📚
32 And fill you up the measure of your fathers.📜💬📚
33 You serpents, viper's broods, how will you flee from the judgement of Hell?📜💬📚
