*"Woe upon you, scribes and Pharisees and all other hypocrites who make sure that they tithe mint, anise, and cumin and at the same time disregards the weightier matters of the law -- faith, mercy, and judgment! Within reason, the one you ought to have done but not to have left the other undone. You are truly blind guides and dumb teachers. You strain out the gnat and swallow the camel.

*"Woe upon you, scribes, Pharisees, and hypocrites! For you are scrupulous to cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter, but within there remains the filth of extortion, excesses, and deception. You are spiritually blind. Do you not recognize how much better it would be first to cleanse the inside of the cup, and then that which spills over would of it-self cleanse the outside? You wicked reprobates! You make the outward performances of your religion to conform to the letter of your interpretation of Moses' law while your souls are steeped in iniquity and filled with murder.

*"Woe upon all of you who reject truth and spurn mercy! Many of you are like whited sepulchers, which outwardly appear beautiful but within are full of dead men's bones and all sorts of uncleanness. Even so do you who knowingly reject the counsel of God appear outwardly to men as holy and righteous, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and iniquity.
