Matthew 23:16-21

16Woe to ayou, bblind guides, who say, cIf 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 dthe temple that has made the gold sacred? 18And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by ethe gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or fthe 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 ghim who dwells in it.
