Matthew 23:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? ¹⁸ And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing. But if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is obligated.’ ¹⁹ You blind fools! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
