Matthew 23:17

New Living Translation

Blind fools! Which is more important—the gold or the Temple that makes the gold sacred?

See the chapter Copy

Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on?

And you say that to swear ‘by the altar’ is not binding, but to swear ‘by the gifts on the altar’ is binding.

How blind! For which is more important—the gift on the altar or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.
