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?

21 E quem jurar pelo templo, jura por ele, e por aquele que nele habita.
