13 "Woe to you,
teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of
heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter
who are trying to..... 23 "Woe to you,
teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your
spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters
of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the
latter, without neglecting the former. 24
You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 "Woe to you, teachers of the law
and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but
inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and
then the outside also will be clean.
Matthew 23:13, 23-26
