24 Blind guides, you are skimming off the gnat, and swallowing the camel.
25 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the plate; but on the inside they are full of rapine, and intemperance.
26 Blind Pharisee, cleanse first what is within the cup, and the plate; so the outside will be clean.
27 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you are like whitened sepulchres. These indeed appear beautiful on the outside; but within they are full of dead men's bones, and of all Corruption.
28 In like manner you also appear outwardly to men to be righteous; but you are inwardly full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers we would not have been their accomplices in the blood of the prophets.
31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of them who killed the prophets.
32 As for you then, fill up the measure of your fathers.
33 Serpents! brood of vipers! how can you escape the punishment of hell?
34 For this, behold I am about to send you prophets, wise men and Scribes: and some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth; from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say to you, All these things will come upon this generation.
