Blind guides, you who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel!

Blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside of them may be clean also.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guides the blind, both will fall into a ditch."

See how they are all blinded; they have not known; [they are] dumb dogs [that] will not bark; dreaming of rest, loving to slumber.

"Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'You shall not swear falsely, but you shall pay your oaths to the Lord.'

"But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;
