MATTHEW XXIII. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long

prayer ; therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 13 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye shut

up the kingdom of heaven against men ; for ye neither go in

yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye

compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he

is made, ye make him two-fold more the child of hell than 16 yourselves. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say;

Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but

whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a 17 debtor. Ye fools and blind! for whether is greater the 18 gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold ? And ; Whoso

ever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing ; but whosoever 19 sweareth by the gist that is upon it, he is guilty. Ye fools,

and blind ! for whether is greater? the gift, or the altar that

tithe of mint, and anise, and cummin ; and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith.

But these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other 24 undone. Ye blind guides ! which strain at a gnat, and swal25 low a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo

Thou blind Pharisee! cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of themn may be clean 27 also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear MATTHEW XXIII. beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, 28 and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear
