Matthew 23:13-28 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye devour the houses of widows, under the disguise of protracting your prayers. Therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye devour the houses of widows, under the disguise of protracting your prayers. Therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation. ¹⁴ Woe to you. Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye hold the kingdom of heaven closed before men; for ye enter not yourselves, and those that would enter ye suffer not to enter. ¹⁵ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye traverse sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is gained, ye make him a child of hell twofold more than yourselves. ¹⁶ Woe to you, ye blind guides: for ye say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold that is in the temple, he is holden. ¹⁷ Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? ¹⁸ And, whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing: but whoever shall swear by the oblation upon it, he is holden. ¹⁹ Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the oblation, or the altar that sanctifieth the oblation? ²⁰ He therefore who sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it. ²¹ And he who sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it. ²² And he who sweareth by heaven, sweareth by throne of God, and by him that sitteth on it. ²³ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and omit the graver matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these ought ye to do, and those not to omit. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain out gnats, and swallow down camels. ²⁵ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, while within they are full of rapine and wickedness. ²⁶ Ye blind Pharisees, cleanse first the inside of the cup and dish, that their outside may be clean also. ²⁷ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear comely without, but are within full of bones of the dead and all impurity. ²⁸ So ye also, outwardly, appear to men as righteous; but within, ye are full of iniquity and hypocrisy.
