Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 17 is found in chapter 23 of Matthew. The woes against scribes and Pharisees denounce obstacles placed before others, selective ritualism, pride, and persecution. The severe language functions as a prophetic denunciation of a religiosity that preserves an appearance of piety while contradicting its own values.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
Compare Matthew 23:17 in different Bible versions and see how its wording varies between translations. These differences can help you better understand the meaning and context of the passage.
