25 ^a“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ^byou clean the outside of ^cthe cup and the plate, but inside they are full of ^dgreed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of ^ethe cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.

27 ^f“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like ^gwhitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and ^hall uncleanness. 28 So you also ⁱoutwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of ^jhypocrisy and lawlessness.
