Matthew 23:26-28

Christian Standard Bible

²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup,^[a] so that the outside of it^[b] may also become clean.

²⁷ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,^(A) which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of the bones of the dead and every kind of impurity. ²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you seem righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
