KJV - Matthew 23:13
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
But be careful, religious teachers and Pharisees who pretend! You keep people from entering the kingdom of heaven because you don't let yourselves in, and you also don't allow those trying to enter.
