MATTHEW 23:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?”
You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? The parallel rhetorical question: the altar that makes the gift sacred is greater than the gift that the altar makes sacred. The oath-casuistry has inverted the proper order.
