Matthew 23:26-28

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

²⁶ Blind Pharisee— first cleanse the inside of the cup, in order that the outside of it may also become clean! ²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you are similar to burial-places having been whitewashed^[a], which outside appear beautiful, but inside are full of bones of dead ones and all impurity! ²⁸ So also you outside appear righteous to people— but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness!
