Matthew 23:16-22

16“Woe to you, 1blind guides, who say, ‘2Whoever swears by the 3temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the 4temple is obligated.’ 17You fools and blind men! 5Which is 6more important, the gold or the 7temple that sanctified the gold? 18And you say, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the 8offering that is on it is obligated.’ 19You blind men, 9which is 10more important, the 11offering or the altar that sanctifies the 12offering? 20Therefore, the one who swears by the altar, swears both by 13the altar and by everything on it. 21And the one who swears by the 14temple, swears both by 15the temple and by Him who 16dwells in it. 22And the one who swears by 17heaven, 18swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
