This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 23:16. Ὁδηγοὶ τυφλοὶ, blind guides) Previously they were styled hypocrites, and that again and again; now the appellation is changed according to the subject in hand. The two appellations are combined in Mat 23:23-24, and Mat 23:25-26. The denunciation reaches its climax in Mat 23:33.-οὐδέν ἐστιν, he is nothing)[1002] sc. ὠφείλων, owing, i.e. he owes nothing.-ἐν τῷ χρυσῷ, by the gold) with which the temple was adorned.
[1002] E. V. “It is nothing.”-(I. B.)
