New Testament

Matthew 23:25-32 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

25. “Woe to you, Torah scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and uncontrolled desire.

26. O blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.

27. “Woe to you, Torah scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.

28. In the same way, you appear righteous to men on the outside, but are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29. “Woe to you, Torah scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the tzaddikim.

30. And you say, ‘If we’d been alive in the days of our forefathers, we wouldn’t have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’

31. So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

32. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers!
