13“But woe pto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you qshut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you rneither 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 tproselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a uchild of vhell ▼▼Greek Gehenna; also verse 33
as yourselves. 16“Woe to xyou, yblind guides, who say, z‘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 aathe temple that has made the gold sacred? 18And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by abthe gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or acthe 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 adhim who dwells in it. 22And whoever swears by aeheaven swears by afthe throne of God and by aghim who sits upon it.
23 ah“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For aiyou tithe mint and dill and ajcumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: akjustice and mercy and faithfulness. alThese you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing ama camel!
25 an“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For aoyou clean the outside of apthe cup and the plate, but inside they are full of aqgreed and self-indulgence. 26You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of arthe cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
27 as“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like atwhitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and auall uncleanness. 28So you also avoutwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of awhypocrisy and lawlessness.
