Matthew 23:24

← Matthew 23:23 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 23:24 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 23:25 [words of Jesus] →
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.	Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.	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.
