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”.
17 Tolos e cegos! Pois qual é maior: o ouro, ou o templo que santifica o ouro?
18 Também [dizeis] : “Qualquer um que jurar pelo altar, nada é; mas quem jurar pela oferta que [está] sobre ele, devedor é”.
19 Tolos e cegos! Pois qual é maior: a oferta, ou o altar que santifica a oferta?
20 Portanto, quem jurar pelo altar, jura por ele, e por tudo o que está sobre ele.
