Matthew 23:15
Douay-Rheims
Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
An abandoned sinner : one worthy of hqll. The pride and hypocrisy of the Pharisees were added to the vices to which the heathen had been subject. " He reproaches them," says St. Chrysostom, " with neglecting to preserve the proselyte, and not with mere negligence, but perverting him and making him worse by their bad example."
