and by him that dwelleth therein.
22
And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of
God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier
matters
of the law, judgment,
mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24
Ye
blind guides,
which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and
excess.
26
Thou
blind Pharisee, cleanse first that
which is
within the cup and platter, that the outside
of them may be clean also.
27
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto
whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
men’s
bones,
and of all uncleanness.
28
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are
full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build
the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30
And say, If we had been
in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the
prophets.
32
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33
Ye
serpents,
ye
generation of vipers,
how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and
some
of them
ye shall kill and crucify; and
some
of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
them
from city to city:
35
That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from
the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between
the temple and the altar.
36
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou
that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee,
how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under
her
wings, and ye would not!
38
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39
For I say unto
you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed
is
he that cometh in the name of the
Lord.

us, when shall these things be? and what

the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the
world?
