Matthew 23:26-28

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ Pharisees, you do not see what is true! You must first clean the inside of the cup. Then the outside that people can see will also be clean.

²⁷ It will be very bad for you, teachers of God's law and Pharisees. You are hypocrites! You are like a grave that has nice white paint on the outside and it looks beautiful. But on the inside it is full of bones and disgusting things. ²⁸ You are the same as that. Other people look at you. They think that you are good and you obey God. But on the inside you are hypocrites. Your minds are full of many bad thoughts.
