19. You blind fools! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20. Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it.
21. But he who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it.
22. And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.
23. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You tithe mint and dill and cumin, but have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done without leaving the others undone.
