Matthew 23:23 - “How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You give God a tenth of your spices, like mint, dill and cumin. But you have not practiced the more important things of the law, which are fairness, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the last things without failing to do the first.
Matthew 23:24 - You blind guides! You remove the smallest insect from your food. But you swallow a whole camel!
Matthew 23:25 - “How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You clean the outside of a cup and dish. But on the inside you are full of greed. You only want to satisfy yourselves.
Matthew 23:26 - Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish. Then the outside will also be clean.
Matthew 23:27 - “How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You are like tombs that are painted white. They look beautiful on the outside. But on the inside they are full of the bones of the dead. They are also full of other things that are not pure and ‘clean.’
Matthew 23:28 - It is the same with you. On the outside you seem to be doing what is right. But on the inside you are full of what is wrong. You pretend to be what you are not.
