"A whited sepulcher" nghĩa là kẻ đạo đức giả, kẻ giả nhân giả nghĩa. "Sepulcher" là mộ cổ, xây như tượng đài bằng đá nhưng bên trong chôn cất xác chết. Cụm từ xuất phát từ Matthew 23:27 trong Kinh thánh: "Woe unto you…for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness".
