[14 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You devour widows’ houses and make long prayers just for show.[a] This is why you will receive a harsher punishment.][b]
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to make one proselyte,(A) and when he becomes one, you make him twice as fit for hell[c] as you are!
