17 Insensés et aveugles! Lequel est le plus grand, l’or, ou le temple qui sanctifie l’or?
18 Si quelqu’un, dites-vous encore, jure par l’autel, ce n’est rien; mais, si quelqu’un jure par l’offrande qui est sur l’autel, il est engagé.

20 Celui qui jure par l’autel jure par l’autel et par tout ce qui est dessus;
21 celui qui jure par le temple jure par le temple et par celui qui l’habite;
