MATTIIEw, CII Ap. xxIII. 13 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19 Ye fools, and blind; for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 20 Whoso, therefore, shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God and by him that sitteth thereon. 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo'crites! for ye pay tithe of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites' for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the piatter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thoma blind Pharisee cleanse first that oc' co, is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
