Matthew · Κατὰ Ματθαῖον

Matthew 23:14

(23:13) ουαι δε ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι κατεσθιετε τας οικιας των χηρων και προφασει μακρα προσευχομενοι δια τουτο ληψεσθε περισσοτερον κριμα
(23:13) oyai de oyai ymin grammateis kai pharisaioi ypokritai oti katesthiete tas oikias tōn chērōn kai prophasei makra proseychomenoi dia toyto lēpsesthe perissoteron krima
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
