Matthew 23

²⁴ You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.

²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.

²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
