Mt 23:23-28

23^j “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes^* of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity. [But] these you should have done, without neglecting the others. 24^{* k} Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!

25^{* l} “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. 26Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean.

27^* “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of filth. 28^m Even so, on the outside you appear righteous, but inside you are filled with hypocrisy and evildoing.
