Matthew 23:17-19 Blind fools! which is greater, the gold, or the sanctuary that makes the gold sacred?

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Blind fools! which is greater, the gold, or the sanctuary that makes the gold sacred? ¹⁸ You say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it does not matter, but if anyone swears by the offering that is on it, it is binding.' ¹⁹ You blind men! Which is greater, the offering, or the altar that makes the offering sacred?
