“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You’re like tombs that have been painted white. They look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside they’re full of dead people’s bones and other things that aren’t pure and clean.
You’re just like that. On the outside you appear to be doing what’s right, but on the inside you’re full of hypocrisy and crime.
And you say, ‘If we’d lived back in those days, we wouldn’t have helped kill the prophets.’
