22 And he that sweareth by heaven sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth upon it.

23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you tithe of mint, anise, and cumin, and have forsaken the most important things of the law: judgment, mercy, and faith; this was to be done, and not to be forsaken.

24 Blind leaders who strain out a gnat, and devour a camel!

25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, while inwardly they are full of theft and unrighteousness.

26 Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and the dish, so that their outside will also be clean.

27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you are likened to painted sepulchers, which outwardly seem beautiful, but inwardly are full of the bones of the dead and all uncleanness;

28 so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you build tombs for the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

30 And you say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been their partners in the shedding of the blood of the prophets.

31 таким образом вы сами против себя свидетельствуете, что вы сыновья тех, которые избили пророков;

32 дополняйте же меру отцов ваших.

33 Змии, порождения ехиднины! как убежите вы от осуждения в геенну?

34 Посему, вот, Я посылаю к вам пророков, и мудрых, и книжников; и вы иных убьете и распнете, а иных будете бить в синагогах ваших и гнать из города в город;

35 да придет на вас вся кровь праведная, пролитая на земле, от крови Авеля праведного до крови Захарии, сына Варахиина, которого вы убили между храмом и жертвенником.
