14. “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehinnom as yourselves.
16. “Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
17. You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18. ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?’
19. You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20. He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21. He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who has been living in it.
22. He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
23. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the Torah: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
24. You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
25. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
26. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
