Matthew 23:23-36
23“1WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For you titheG586 mintG2238 and dillG432 and 2cumminG2951, 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 3blindG5185 guidesG3595, who strainG1368 out a gnatG2971 and swallowG2666 a camelG2574!
25“WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For 4you cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 and of the dishG3953, but insideG2081 they are fullG1073 5of robberyG724 and self-indulgenceG192. 26You blindG5185 PhariseeG5330, firstG4413 6cleanG2511 the insideG1787 of the cupG4221 and of the dishG3953, soG2443 that the outsideG1622 of it may becomeG1096 cleanG2513 alsoG2532.
27“7WoeG3759 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“8WoeG3759 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 9are 10sonsG5207 of thoseG3588 who murderedG5407 the prophetsG4396. 32FillG4137 up, thenG2532, the measureG3358 of the guilt of your fathersG3962. 33You serpentsG3789, 11you broodG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 12will you escapeG5343 the 13sentenceG2920 of 1415hellG1067?
34“16ThereforeG1223G3778, beholdG2400, 17I am sendingG649 you prophetsG4396 and wiseG4680 menG4680 and scribesG1122; someG1537 of them you will killG615 and crucifyG4717, and someG1537 of them you will 18scourgeG3146 in your synagoguesG4864, and 19persecuteG1377 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 20AbelG6 to the bloodG129 of ZechariahG2197, the 21sonG5207 of BerechiahG914, whomG3739 22you murderedG5407 betweenG3342 the 23templeG3485 and the altarG2379. 36TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 will comeG2240 upon 24thisG3778 generationG1074.
