15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one [a](A)proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of [b](B)hell as yourselves.
16 “Woe to you, (C)blind guides, who say, ‘(D)Whoever swears by the [c]sanctuary, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the [d]sanctuary is obligated.’ 17 You fools and blind men! For (E)which is [e]more important, the gold or the sanctuary that sanctified the gold?
