Legacy Standard Bible
14 [a][Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because (A)you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.]
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one [b](B)proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of [c](C)hell as yourselves.
16 “Woe to you, (D)blind guides, who say, ‘(E)Whoever swears by the [d]sanctuary, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the [e]sanctuary is obligated.’
