Matthew 23:14 in Context — Matthew 23
12 E o que a si mesmo se exaltar será humilhado; e o que a si mesmo se humilhar será exaltado.
13 Mas ai de vós, escribas e fariseus, hipócritas! Porque fechais o Reino dos céus em frente das pessoas; pois nem vós entrais, nem permitis a entrada do que estão para entrar.
14 Ai de vós, escribas e fariseus, hipócritas! Porque devorais as casas das viúvas, e [isso] com pretexto de longas orações; por isso recebereis mais grave condenação.
15 Ai de vós, escribas e fariseus, hipócritas! Porque rodeais o mar e a terra para fazerdes um prosélito; e quando é feito, vós o tornais filho do inferno duas vezes mais que a vós.
16 Ai de vós, guias cegos, que dizeis: “Qualquer um que jurar pelo templo, nada é; mas qualquer um que jurar pelo ouro do templo, devedor é”.
