23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 "Woe to you, teachers of the law
and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but

Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and
then the outside also will be clean.
Matthew 23:13, 23-26
