Matthew 23:26-28

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup,^[a] so the outside of it^[b] may also become clean.

²⁷ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,^(A) which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and every impurity. ²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you seem righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
