Matthew 23:13-15

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} 15 Woe 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.

Luke 11:39-44

39 And the Lord said to him, ⁱ“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of ^jgreed and wickedness. 40 ^kYou fools! ^lDid not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But ^mgive as alms those things that are within, and behold, ⁿeverything is clean for you.

42 ^o“But woe to you Pharisees! For ^pyou tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect ^qjustice and ^rthe love of God. ^sThese you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For ^tyou love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! ^uFor you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”
