Matthew 23:20

17 You foolish ones and blind: which is greater, the gold, or the Temple which makes the gold holy?

18 And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible.

19 You blind ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which makes the offering holy?

20 He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it.

21 And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is.

22 And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it.

23 A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.
