Then the disciples came to him, and said to him, Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this word? And he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them go; they are blind guides of the blind. But if the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the pit.
Woe to you blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound. Fools and blind! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold? If a man swears by the altar, it is nothing; but if be swears by the gift which is on it, he is bound. read more.
Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift? He then that swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it; and he that swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that inhabits it; and he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits on it. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy, and faith. These you ought to do, and not neglect the others. Blind guides! who strain out a gnat and swallow down a camel. Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and platter, but within they are full of plunder and excess. Blind Pharisee! cleanse first that which is in the cup and platter, that its outside may be clean also.

And one of the multitude said to him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the inheritance. And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? And he said to them, See, and beware of all covetousness; for one's life depends not on the abundance of his property. read more.
And he told them a parable, saying, The farm of a certain rich man produced abundantly; and he reasoned in himself, saying, What shall I do, for I have no place where I shall bring together my fruits? And he said, I will do this; I will take down my storehouses and build greater; and there will I bring together all my produce and my goods; and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years rest, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself. But God said to him, Foolish man, this night they shall require your soul from you; and who then will have the goods which you have provided? So is every one that lays up treasures for himself and is not rich in God.
