Matthew 23:28 Context
26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may bee cleane also. 27Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for yee are like vnto whited sepulchres, which indeed appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and of all vncleannesse. 28Euen so, yee also outwardly appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie. 29Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30And say, If wee had beene in the dayes of our fathers, wee would not haue bene partakers with them in the blood of the Prophets.
