²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but within they are full of extortion (prey, spoil, plunder) and grasping self-indulgence. ²⁶ You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may be clean also. ²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you are like tombs that have been whitewashed, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men's bones and everything impure. ²⁸ Just so, you also outwardly seem to people to be just and upright but inside you are full of pretense and lawlessness and iniquity.
