Matthew 23:13-35

13“1But woeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, 2becauseG3754 you shutG2808 off the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 3from 4peopleG444; for you do not enterG1525 in yourselvesG4771, norG3761 do you allowG863 thoseG3588 who are enteringG1525 to goG1525 in. 14[5WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, becauseG3754 6you devourG2719 widows’G5503 housesG3614, and for a pretenseG4392 you makeG4336 longG3117 prayersG4336; thereforeG1223G3778 you will receiveG2983 greaterG4053 condemnationG2917.]

15“WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273, becauseG3754 you travelG4013 aroundG4013 on seaG2281 and landG3584 to makeG4160 oneG1520 78proselyteG4339; and whenG3752 he becomesG1096 one, you makeG4160 him twiceG1362 as muchG1362 a sonG5207 of 910hellG1067 as yourselvesG4771.

16“WoeG3759 to you, 11blindG5185 guidesG3595, who sayG3004, ‘12WhoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the 13templeG3485, that is nothingG3762; but whoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the goldG5557 of the 14templeG3485 is obligatedG3784.’ 17You foolsG3474 and blindG5185 menG5185! 15WhichG5101 is 16moreG3173 importantG3173, the goldG5557 orG2228 the 17templeG3485 that sanctifiedG37 the goldG5557? 18And, ‘WhoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the altarG2379, that is nothingG3762, but whoeverG3739G302 swearsG3660 by the 18offeringG1435 on it, he is obligatedG3784.’ 19You blindG5185 menG5185, 19whichG5101 is 20moreG3173 importantG3173, the 21offeringG1435, orG2228 the altarG2379 that sanctifiesG37 the 22offeringG1435? 20ThereforeG3767, 23whoeverG3588 swearsG3660 by the altarG2379, swearsG3660 both by 24the altarG2379 and by everythingG3956 on it. 21And 25whoeverG3588 swearsG3660 by the 26templeG3485, swearsG3660 both by 27the templeG846 and by Him who 28dwellsG2730 withinG2730 it. 22And 29whoeverG3588 swearsG3660 by heavenG3772, 30swearsG3660 both by the throneG2362 of GodG2316 and by Him who sitsG2521 upon it.

23“31WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For you titheG586 mintG2238 and dillG432 and 32cumminG2951, and have neglectedG863 the weightierG926 provisionsG926 of the lawG3551: justiceG2920 and mercyG1656 and faithfulnessG4102; but theseG3778 are the things you shouldG1163 have doneG4160 withoutG3361 neglectingG863 the othersG2548. 24You 33blindG5185 guidesG3595, who strainG1368 out a gnatG2971 and swallowG2666 a camelG2574!

25“WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For 34you cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 and of the dishG3953, but insideG2081 they are fullG1073 35of robberyG724 and self-indulgenceG192. 26You blindG5185 PhariseeG5330, firstG4413 36cleanG2511 the insideG1787 of the cupG4221 and of the dishG3953, soG2443 that the outsideG1622 of it may becomeG1096 cleanG2513 alsoG2532.

27“37WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For you are likeG3945 whitewashedG2867 tombsG5028 whichG3748 on the outsideG1855 appearG5316 beautifulG5611, but insideG2081 they are fullG1073 of deadG3498 men’sG3498 bonesG3747 and allG3956 uncleannessG167. 28SoG3779 you, tooG2532, outwardlyG1855 appearG5316 righteousG1342 to menG444, but inwardlyG2081 you are fullG3324 of hypocrisyG5272 and lawlessnessG458.

29“38WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For you buildG3618 the tombsG5028 of the prophetsG4396 and adornG2885 the monumentsG3419 of the righteousG1342, 30and sayG3004, ‘IfG1487 we had beenG1510 living in the daysG2250 of our fathersG3962, we would not have beenG1510 partnersG2844 with them in shedding the bloodG129 of the prophetsG4396.’ 31SoG5620 you testifyG3140 against yourselvesG1438, that you 39are 40sonsG5207 of thoseG3588 who murderedG5407 the prophetsG4396. 32FillG4137 up, thenG2532, the measureG3358 of the guilt of your fathersG3962. 33You serpentsG3789, 41you broodG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 42will you escapeG5343 the 43sentenceG2920 of 4445hellG1067?

34“46ThereforeG1223G3778, beholdG2400, 47I am sendingG649 you prophetsG4396 and wiseG4680 menG4680 and scribesG1122; someG1537 of them you will killG615 and crucifyG4717, and someG1537 of them you will 48scourgeG3146 in your synagoguesG4864, and 49persecuteG1377 from cityG4172 to cityG4172, 35soG3704 that upon you may fallG2064 the guilt of allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 on earthG1093, from the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 50AbelG6 to the bloodG129 of ZechariahG2197, the 51sonG5207 of BerechiahG914, whomG3739 52you murderedG5407 betweenG3342 the 53templeG3485 and the altarG2379.
