Matthew 23:16-17

Matthew 23:16 [Ye] blind guides. Blind, because they closed their eyes, yet professing to be leaders. Swear by the temple. A common oath among the Jews. Swear by the gold of the temple. In their foolish distinctions they regarded this as a binding oath. If the gold had any sacredness, it was because the temple, God's house, made it so.
