Matthew 23:28-30

Expanded Bible

²⁸ It is the same with you. ·People look at you and think you are good [or On the outside you look like righteous people], but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and ·evil [lawlessness].

²⁹ “·How terrible for [^LWoe to] you, ·teachers of the law [scribes] and Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets, and you ·show honor to [decorate; adorn] the graves of ·those who lived good lives [^Lthe righteous]. ³⁰ You say, ‘If we had lived during the time of our ancestors, we would not have ·helped them kill [^Lbeen partners in the blood of] the prophets.’
