(based on Matthew 23)

for they preach, but do not practice

tie burdens on others and not care to lift

but do not follow their example

all their works are performed to be seen

woe to you scribes and pharisees

outward beauty and hypocrisies

blind guides but inside dead men's bones

every kind of filth and unclean

whitewashed tombs

strain out the gnat, swallow the camel

whitewashed tombs

greatest of you must be your servant

places of honor and seats at banquets

you lock the Kingdom before human beings

blind fools to the swearing of gold

to whom the gift makes the altar sacred

woe to you scribes and pharisees

outward beauty and hypocrisies

blind guides but inside dead men's bones

every kind of filth and unclean

whitewashed tombs

strain out the gnat, swallow the camel

whitewashed tombs

greatest of you must be your servant

"you blind men"

"for which is of greater worth..."

"the offering or the altar that makes the offering sacred?"

whitewashed - tombs

whitewashed - tombs

white washed tombs

whitewashed tombs

strain out the gnat, swallow the camel

whitewashed tombs

greatest of you must be your servant

behold you have, but one Father

neither be called Master

cleanse first the cup inside

that the outside may be clean

whitewashed tombs
