Mt 23, Verses 27–28English original
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, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
As above they are said to be full of extortion and excess, so here they are full of hypocrisy and iniquity, and are likened to dead men’s bones, and all uncleanness.
