Matthew 23:15-17

New International Version - UK

¹⁵ ‘Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

¹⁶ ‘Woe to you, blind guides! You say, “If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.” ¹⁷ You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
