Matthew 23:13-15

13“1But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, 2because you shut the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter it yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.3

15“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one 45proselyte; and when he becomes one, you 6make him twice as much a son of 78hell as yourselves.
