And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Y ustedes dicen: 'Si alguien jura por el altar, eso no importa; pero si jura por la ofrenda que está sobre el altar, entonces sí está obligado a cumplir su juramento.'
Los fariseos hacían distinciones absurdas entre juramentos que debían cumplirse y los que no.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, Jewish religious leaders like the Pharisees had developed detailed rules about oaths, teaching that swearing by certain things, such as the altar, was not binding, while swearing by objects on it, like a gift, made one accountable. Jesus was confronting this hypocrisy in His public teachings in Jerusalem, as part of a broader critique of how the leaders twisted God's laws to suit their own purposes. This verse illustrates the absurdity of their distinctions, which undermined the seriousness of all vows before God.
