Matthew 23:13-17
13“But woe ato you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you bshut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you cneither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. ▼▼Some manuscripts add here (or after verse 12) verse 14: Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive the greater condemnation
15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single eproselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a fchild of ghell ▼▼Greek Gehenna; also verse 33
as yourselves. 16“Woe to iyou, jblind guides, who say, k‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ 17You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or lthe temple that has made the gold sacred? Matthew 23:33
33You serpents, myou brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to nhell?
