King James Version with Apocrypha
"Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?"
— Matthew 23:17, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?”
“Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold? ”
“You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?”
“Blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?”
“Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?”
“You foolish ones and blind: which is greater, the gold, or the Temple which makes the gold holy?”
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
