Matthew 23:13-28

Bishops(i) 13 Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: ye neither go in your selues, neither suffer ye them that come, to enter in 14 Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widdowes houses, and that vnder a pretence of long prayer: therfore ye shall receaue the greater dampnation 15 Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and lande, to make one proselite: & when he is become one, ye make hym two folde more the chylde of hell, then ye your selues [are] 16 Wo be vnto you ye blynde guides: for ye say, whosoeuer doth sweare by the temple, it is nothyng: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the temple, he is a detter 17 Ye fooles and blynde. For whether is greater, the golde, or the temple that sanctifieth the golde 18 And whosoeuer sweareth by the aulter, it is nothyng: but whosoeuer sweareth by the gyft that is vpon it, he is a detter 19 Ye fooles and blynde, for whether is greater, the gyft: or the aulter that sanctifieth the gyft 20 Who so therfore sweareth by the aulter, sweareth by it, and by all thynges theron 21 And who so sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by hym that dwelleth therin 22 And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the seate of God, and by hym that sitteth theron 23 Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye tythe mynt, and annise, and cummyn: and haue left the wayghtier matters of the lawe, iudgement, mercy, and fayth. These ought ye to haue done, and not to leaue the other vndone 24 Ye blynde guides, which strayne out a gnat, and swalowe a Camel 25 Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter syde of the cup, & of the platter: but within they are full of brybery & excesse 26 Thou blynde Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outsyde of them may be cleane also 27 Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites: for ye are lyke vnto paynted sepulchres, which in dede appeare beautifull outwarde, but are within full of dead [mens] bones, and of all fylthynes 28 Euen so, ye also, outwardly appeare ryghteous vnto men: But within, ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie
