河西的官員們——河西總督達乃、示他·波斯乃及其同僚上奏大流士王，

「虛偽的律法教師和法利賽人啊，你們有禍了！因為你們當著人們的面關閉天國之門，自己不進去，也不讓別人進去。

有法利賽人和一些律法教師從耶路撒冷來見耶穌。他們看到祂的門徒有些吃飯前沒有照禮儀洗手。因為法利賽人和所有的猶太人都拘守古人的傳統，總是先照禮儀洗手之後才吃飯；從市場回來也要先潔淨自己，然後才吃飯。他們還拘守許多其他規矩，如洗杯、罐、銅器等。他們質問耶穌：「為什麼你的門徒違背祖先的傳統，竟用不潔淨的手吃飯呢？」耶穌回答說：「以賽亞先知針對你們這些偽君子所說的預言一點不錯，正如聖經上說，『這些人嘴上尊崇我，心卻遠離我。他們的教導無非是人的規條，他們敬拜我也是枉然。』你們只知拘守人的傳統，卻無視上帝的誡命。」耶穌又對他們說：「你們為了拘守自己的傳統，竟巧妙地廢除了上帝的誡命。摩西說，『要孝敬父母』，又說，『咒罵父母的，必被處死。』你們卻認為人若對父母說，『我把供養你們的錢財已經全部奉獻給上帝了』，他就可以不奉養父母。你們就是這樣為了拘守傳統而廢除上帝的道，類似的情形還有很多。」

「律法教師和法利賽人坐在摩西的位子上講授律法。

這以斯拉是位律法教師，精通以色列的上帝耶和華賜下的摩西律法。他的上帝耶和華幫助他，使王批准他的一切要求。
