Matthew 23:17-19

17You fools and blind men! 1Which is 2more important, the gold or the 3temple that sanctified the gold?

18And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the 4offering on it, he is obligated.’

19You blind men, 5which is 6more important, the 7offering, or the altar that sanctifies the 8offering?
