Matthew 23:27

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Jesus is calling out the religious leaders: 'You're like those fancy painted tombs that look gorgeous on the outside but are literally full of dead bodies and decay on the inside. That's exactly what you are — all show, no substance.'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Looking perfect on the outside while being corrupt inside is the worst kind of fake.
