Matthew 23:20

New American Standard Bible 2020

Therefore, the one who swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.

See the chapter Copy

You blind men, which is more important, the offering or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

And the one who swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells in it.

For people swear an oath by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath serving as confirmation is an end of every dispute.
