Coptic New Testament
1Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples:
1ⲧⲟⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.

3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

4They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

5All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.

6They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,

8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.

13Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let in those who wish to enter.

15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

16Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’
16ⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϭⲁⲩⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
17You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?

18And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲑⲛⲁⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛⲉⲣϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?

20So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

21And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.

22And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.

23Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

24You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

25Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.

27Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.

28In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.

31So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.

32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.

34Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute in town after town.

35And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
