Matthew 23:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You travel sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

¹⁶ “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing. But if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’ ¹⁷ You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
