Matthew 23:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?

¹⁸ “And you say, ‘If someone swears by the altar, that is not binding, but if someone swears by the offering that lies on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ ¹⁹ You blind fools! Which is of greater value—the offering, or the altar that makes the offering sacred?
