14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and they derided Him.
15 And He said unto them, “Ye are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16 “The Law and the Prophets were until John. Since that time the Kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.

American Standard Version
14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the [a]gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
