Yes he did, Caroline. Compare that with the following passages: Matthew 23:17-19 (17) Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? (18) And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. (19) Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? Luke 11:40 (40) Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? Luke 24:25 (25) Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: I would have thought this was right up your alley, something you had considered before. :-) The atheists like to raise this as a contradiction, but as you are perhaps aware, it is not.
