16 "Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whosoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!' 17 Fools, and blind! for which is greater—the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold? 18 'And whosoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it , is a debtor!' 19 Ye blind! for which is greater—the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 He, therefore, who swears by the altar swears by it and by all things on it; 21 and he who swears by the temple swears by it and by Him dwelling therein; 22 and he who swears by Heaven swears by the throne of God and by Him sitting thereon.
