Matthew 23:13-22

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.

16“Woe to you, 9blind guides, who say, ‘10Whoever swears by the 11temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the 12temple is obligated.’ 17You fools and blind men! 13Which is 14more important, the gold or the 15temple that sanctified the gold? 18And you say, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the 16offering that is on it is obligated.’ 19You blind men, 17which is 18more important, the 19offering or the altar that sanctifies the 20offering? 20Therefore, the one who swears by the altar, swears both by 21the altar and by everything on it. 21And the one who swears by the 22temple, swears both by 23the temple and by Him who 24dwells in it. 22And the one who swears by 25heaven, 26swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
