Matthew(i)
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.
28 So are ye, for outwarde ye apeare righteouse vnto men, when within, ye are full of hypocresie and iniquitie.
29 Wo be vnto you Scribes and Phariseis hypocrites, ye buylde the tombes of the Prophetes and garnysh the sepulchres of the righteouse,
30 and saye: if we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we woulde not haue bene parteners with them in the bloude of the Prophetes.
31 So then ye be witnesses to your selues, that ye are the chyldren of them whyche kylled the Prophetes.
32 Fulfil ye likewyse the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpentes and generacion of vppers howe shoulde ye scape the damnacion of hell?
34 Wherfore, behold I send vnto you Prophetes, wise men, & Scribes. Of them ye shal kyl and crucifye: and of them ye shall scourge in your synagoges, and persecute from citye to citye
35 that vpon you may come all the ryghtuous bloude that was shede vpon the earth, from the bloude of ryghtuous Abel, vnto the bloude of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whom ye slewe betwene the tempel and the aulter.
36 Verely I say vnto you, al these things shall lyght vpon this generation.
37 Ierusalem, Ierusalem which killest prophetes, and stone them which are sent to the: howe often would I haue gathered thy children together: as the henne gathered her chikens vnder her winges, but ye would not.
38 Beholde your habitation shalbe left vnto you desolate.
39 For I saye to you, ye shall not se me hence forth tyll that ye saye blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde.
