Matthew 23:16-27

Matthew(i) 16 Wo be vnto you blynde guydes, whyche say whosoeuer sweare by the temple, it is nothing, but whosoeuer sweared by the golde of the temple: he offendeth. 17 Ye fooles and blind, whither is greater, the golde, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18 And whosoeuer sweareth by the aultare, it is nothynge: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offeryng that lyeth on the aulter, offendeth. 19 Ye fooles and blynde, whither is greater the offerynge, or the aulter whiche sanctifieth the offeryng? 20 Whosoeuer therfore sweareth by the aultare, sweareth by it and by all that thereon is. 21 And whosoeuer 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 him that sitteth thereon. 23 Wo be to you Scribes and Phariseis, hypocrites, which tythe mynte, anyse and commen, and leaue the wayghtyer matters of the lawe vndone: iudgement, mercy, and faythe. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue lefte the other vndone. 24 Ye blynde guydes whiche strayne out a gnat, and swallowe a cammell. 25 Wo be to you Scribes and Pharises hypocrites, which make cleane the vtter side of the cuppe, & of the platter: but within they are ful of bribery and excesse. 26 Thou blynd Pharisei, clense first the ynneside of the cup & platter, that the outside of them may be clene also. 27 Wo be to you Scribes and Phariseis hypocrytes, for ye are lyke vnto paynted tombes, whiche appeare beautifull outwarde, but are within full of dead bones and of all filthines.
