Matthew 23:23-36

23WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, for ye pay tithes of mintG2238 and anise and cummin, and ye have leftG863 aside the weightierG926 matters of the lawG3551, judgmentG2920 and mercyG1656 and faithG4102: these ye oughtG1163 to have done and not have leftG863 those aside.

24BlindG5185 guidesG3595, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camelG2574.

25WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, for ye make clean the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 and of the dish, but within they are fullG1073 of rapine and intemperance.

26BlindG5185 PhariseeG5330, make cleanG2513 firstG4413 the inside of the cupG4221 and of the dish, that their outside alsoG2532 may becomeG1096 cleanG2513.

27WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appearG5316 beautifulG5611 outwardly, but within are fullG1073 of deadG3498 men's bones and all uncleanness.

28ThusG3779 alsoG2532 ye, outwardly ye appearG5316 righteousG1342 to menG444, but within areG1510 fullG3324 of hypocrisyG5272 and lawlessnessG458.

29WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, for ye buildG3618 the sepulchres of the prophetsG4396 and adornG2885 the tombsG3419 of the justG1342,

30and ye sayG3004, If we had beenG1510 in the daysG2250 of our fathersG3962 we would not have beenG1510 partakersG2844 with them in the bloodG129 of the prophetsG4396.

31SoG5620 that ye bearG3140 witnessG3140 of yourselves that ye areG1510 sonsG5207 of those who slew the prophetsG4396:

32and ye, fillG4137 ye up the measureG3358 of your fathersG3962.

33SerpentsG3789, offspringG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 should ye escape the judgmentG2920 of hellG1067?

34Therefore, beholdG2400, I sendG649 unto you prophetsG4396, and wiseG4680 menG3778, and scribesG1122; and [some] of them ye will killG615 and crucifyG4717, and [some] of them ye will scourge in your synagoguesG4864, and will persecuteG1377 from cityG4172 to cityG4172;

35so that all righteousG1342 bloodG129 shed upon the earthG1093 should comeG2064 upon you, from the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 to the bloodG129 of Zacharias sonG5207 of Barachias, whom ye slew between the templeG3485 and the altarG2379.

36Verily I sayG3004 unto you, All these thingsG3778 shall comeG2240 upon this generationG1074.
