17 ^cYou have wearied the Lord with your words. ^dBut you say, “How have we wearied him?” ^eBy saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.” Or by asking, ^f“Where is the God of justice?”

3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ^l‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ^m‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5 But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” ^{▼▼Or is an offering} 6 he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have ^omade void the word ^{▼▼Some manuscripts law} of God.

Matthew 23:16-23

16 “Woe to ^qyou, ^rblind guides, who say, ^s‘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.’ 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or ^tthe temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by ^uthe gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19 You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or ^vthe altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by ^whim who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by ^xheaven swears by ^ythe throne of God and by ^zhim who sits upon it.
