or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

Matthew 5:36 μήτε nor

Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

Here: Continues the chain from verses 34–35 ('not by heaven… nor by the earth… nor by Jerusalem'). This is the fourth and last thing a person might swear by, and it comes closest to home: your own body.

Acts 23:12 μήτε μήτε neither, nor

When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.

Here: “Neither.” It begins a list of three that piles up the ways people swore.
