Matthew 23:16-20

“Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.’

You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?

And you say, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the offering that is on it is obligated.’

You blind men, which is more important, the offering or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

Therefore, the one who swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.
