In context

19You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

20He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.

21He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.

22He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.

23“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
