David himself saith in the book of Psalms; "The LORD said unto my Lord; Sit thou on my right hand, 43 till I make thine enemies thy 44 footstool." David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 45 Then in the audience of all the people, he said unto his 46 disciples; Beware of the

And he said unto them in his doctrine; Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the 39 market-places, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts; which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long. prayers; these shall receive greater damnation.

MATTHEW XXIII.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer; therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 13 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, bypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, ye make him two-fold more the child of hell than 16 yourselves. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say; Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a 17 debtor. Ye fools and blind! for whether is greater? the 18 gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? And; Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever 19 sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. Ye fools, and blind! for whether is greater? the gift, or the altar that

20 sanctifieth the gift? Whoso, therefore, shall swear by the al21 tar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon; and whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that 22 dwelleth therein; and he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint, and anise, and cummin; and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith. But these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other 24 undone. Ye blind guides! which strain at a gnat, and swal25 low a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteous26 ness. Thou blind Pharisee! cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean 27 also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear

beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, 28 and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and 39 iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the 30 sepulchres of the righteous, and say; If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with 31 them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be wit

nesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them 32 which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of 33 your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers! how can 34 ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send

unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye shall kill and crucify, and some of them shall ye

And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him; Master, see what manner of stones, and what buildings are here. And Jesus answering, said unto him; Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and

Verily I say unto you, that all these things shall come upon this generation.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gather38 eth her chickens under her wings! and ye would not. Be39 hold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you; Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
