In context
18 And, whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is bound:
19 Blind! for which is greater, The gift, or the altar that halloweth the gift?
20 He therefore that hath sworn by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it;
21 And, he that hath sworn by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth therein;
22 And, he that hath sworn by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who sitteth thereupon.
23 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin,—and have dismissed the weightier matters of the law—the justice, the mercy, and the faith; whereas, these, it was binding, to do, and, those, not to, dismiss.
24 Blind guides! Straining out the gnat, but, the camel, swallowing.
