This is VLX number 139. We are in Matthew chapter 23, verses 13 to 36.

Today is called whitewashed tombs. The Lord give you his peace and nomi pachisipiti, Spiritu Santi, amen.

God our Lord, we ask the grace that all of our intentions, actions, and operations be directed purely to the service

and praise of your divine majesty.

And I'mipati Sipides, be it to Santee. Amen.

But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.

For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces.

For you neither enter yourselves, nor allow those who would enter to go in.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites.

For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte,

you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.

Woe to you, blind guides who say, if anyone swears by the temple is nothing,

but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.

You blind fools, for which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred.

And you say, if anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing,

but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath, you blind men,

for which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred. So whoever swears by the

altar swears by it and by everything on it, and whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by everything on it, and whoever swears

by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.

And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon

it.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrite.
