13“But woe hto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you ishut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you jneither 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 lproselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a mchild of nhell ▼▼Greek Gehenna; also verse 33
as yourselves. 16“Woe to pyou, qblind guides, who say, r‘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 sthe temple that has made the gold sacred? 18And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by tthe gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or uthe altar that makes the gift sacred? 20So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by vhim who dwells in it. 22And whoever swears by wheaven swears by xthe throne of God and by yhim who sits upon it.
