Matthew 23:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the Temple, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the gold of the Temple, he sins.’

¹⁷ “You fools, and blind! Which is greater, the gold or the Temple that sanctifies the gold?

¹⁸ “And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the offering upon it, sins.’
