Gospel
Matthew 23: 27-32
27“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of filth.
28Even so, on the outside you appear righteous, but inside you are filled with hypocrisy and evildoing.
29“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the memorials of the righteous,
30and you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have joined them in shedding the prophets’ blood.’
31Thus you bear witness against yourselves that you are the children of those who murdered the prophets;
32now fill up what your ancestors measured out!
