Matthew 23:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ You say too, Whoever swears by the altar is not duty bound; but whoever swears by the offering on the altar, his oath is binding.

¹⁹ You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar which makes the gift sacred?

²⁰ So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
