Matthew 23:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves.

¹⁶ Woe to you blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple, is a debtor.

¹⁷ Ye foolish and blind; for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
