You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
Are you blind? Which is more important, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
Can't you fools see? Won't you ever learn?
You also teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the altar. But you say it does matter if someone swears by the gift on the altar.
Jesus and the people he makes holy all belong to the same family. This is why he isn't ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.
