Matthew 23:16

Back to Verses

Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

Oh no, you religious leaders who are blind, why do you say that swearing by the temple means nothing, but swearing by its gold makes someone in debt? It's not fair!
