Matthew 23 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“But woe ^G3759 to you, scribes ^G1122 and Pharisees ^G5330, hypocrites ^G5273, because ^G3754 you shut ^G2808 the kingdom ^G932 of heaven ^G3772 in ^G1715 front ^G1715 of ^G1715 people ^G444; for you do not enter ^G1525 it yourselves ^G4771, nor ^G3761 do you allow ^G863 those ^G3588 who are entering ^G1525 to go ^G1525 in ^G1525.

“Woe ^G3759 to you, scribes ^G1122 and Pharisees ^G5330, hypocrites ^G5273, because ^G3754 you travel ^G4013 around ^G4013 on sea ^G2281 and land ^G3584 to make ^G4160 one ^G1520 [fn]proselyte ^G4339; and when ^G3752 he becomes ^G1096 one, you [fn]make ^G4160 him twice ^G1362 as ^G1362 much ^G1362 a son ^G5207 of [fn]hell ^G1067 as yourselves ^G4771.

“Woe ^G3759 to you, blind ^G5185 guides ^G3595, who say ^G3004, ‘Whoever ^G3739 G302 swears ^G3660 by the [fn]temple ^G3485, that is nothing ^G3762; but whoever ^G3739 G302 swears ^G3660 by the gold ^G5557 of the [fn]temple ^G3485 is obligated ^G3784.’

“Woe ^G3759 to you, scribes ^G1122 and Pharisees ^G5330, hypocrites ^G5273! For you tithe ^G586 mint ^G2238 and dill ^G432 and [fn]cumin ^G2951, and have neglected ^G863 the weightier ^G926 provisions ^G926 of the Law ^G3551: justice ^G2920 and mercy ^G1656 and faithfulness ^G4102; but these ^G3778 are the things you should ^G1163 have done ^G4160 without ^G2532 G3361 neglecting ^G863 the others ^G2548.

“Woe ^G3759 to you, scribes ^G1122 and Pharisees ^G5330, hypocrites ^G5273! For you clean ^G2511 the outside ^G1855 of the cup ^G4221 and of the dish ^G3953, but inside ^G2081 they are full ^G1073 [fn]of robbery ^G724 and self-indulgence ^G192.

“Woe ^G3759 to you, scribes ^G1122 and Pharisees ^G5330, hypocrites ^G5273! For you are like ^G3945 whitewashed ^G2867 tombs ^G5028 which ^G3748 on the outside ^G1855 appear ^G5316 beautiful ^G5611, but inside ^G2081 they are full ^G1073 of dead ^G3498 men’s ^G3498 bones ^G3747 and all ^G3956 uncleanness ^G167.

“Woe ^G3759 to you, scribes ^G1122 and Pharisees ^G5330, hypocrites ^G5273! For you build ^G3618 the tombs ^G5028 for the prophets ^G4396 and decorate ^G2885 the monuments ^G3419 of the righteous ^G1342,

“Therefore ^G1223 G3778, behold ^G2400, I am sending ^G649 you prophets ^G4396 and wise ^G4680 men ^G4680 and scribes ^G1122; some ^G1537 of them you will kill ^G615 and crucify ^G4717, and some ^G1537 of them you will flog ^G3146 in your synagogues ^G4864, and persecute ^G1377 from city ^G4172 to city ^G4172,

“Jerusalem ^G2419, Jerusalem ^G2419, who kills ^G615 the prophets ^G4396 and stones ^G3036 those ^G3588 who have been sent ^G649 to her! How ^G4212 often ^G4212 I wanted ^G2309 to gather ^G1996 your children ^G5043 together ^G1996, the way ^G5158 a hen ^G3733 gathers ^G1996 her chicks ^G3556 under ^G5259 her wings ^G4420, and you were unwilling ^G3756 G2309.
