24 Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel.
25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture.
26 O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean.
27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed tombs, which without indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness.
28 So also ye without truly appear just to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and deck the monuments of the just,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been their partakers in the blood of the prophets,
31 Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets.
32 And fill ye up yourselves the measure of your fathers.
33 Serpents, generations of vipers, how would ye flee from the judgment of hell?
34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and the wise, and scribes: and of them shall ye kill and crucify; and of them shall ye chastise in your assemblies, and drive out from city to city,
35 So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar.
36 Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation.
