Matthew 23:23“mint”Ouai vi, grammatevoir kai Farisaioir hupokritoir, hoti apodekatavō tem hēduosmem kai tem anēthem kai tem kuminem, kai afiēkava teim baruotereim tou nomou, tan krisian kai tem elesem kai tan pistian; houteim date poiara kakeineim mē afiēkarō.Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
