20. Whoever therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things upon it.
21. And whoever shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it.
22. And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth upon it.
23. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ye ought to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
24. Ye blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
