Matthew 23:18 BBE

¹⁶  A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible.

¹⁷  You foolish ones and blind: which is greater, the gold, or the Temple which makes the gold holy?

¹⁸  And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible.

¹⁹  You blind ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which makes the offering holy?

²⁰  He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it.
