Matthew 23:16-22

Bible Text

[16] "Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.' [17] You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold? [18] 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.' [19] You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? [20] He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it. [21] He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living in it. [22] He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
