Matthew 23:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ “Woe to you, ^(A)blind guides, who say, ‘^(B)Whoever swears by the ^[a]temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the ^[b]temple is obligated.’ ¹⁷ You fools and blind men! ^(C)Which is ^[c]more important, the gold or the ^[d]temple that sanctified the gold? ¹⁸ And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the ^[e]offering on it, he is obligated.’
