Matthew 23:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup,^[a] so that its outside may also be clean.

²⁷ “How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead people’s bones and every kind of impurity. ²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you look righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
