Matthew 21:43Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.Matthew 21:44He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”Matthew 21:45When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.Matthew 21:46Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.Matthew 22:15Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.Matthew 22:16They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.Matthew 22:17So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”Matthew 22:18But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?Matthew 22:19Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.Matthew 22:20“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”Matthew 22:21“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”Matthew 22:22And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.Matthew 23:2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.Matthew 23:3So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.Matthew 23:4They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.Matthew 23:5All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.Matthew 23:6They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,Matthew 23:7the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.Matthew 23:8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.Matthew 23:9And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.Matthew 23:10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.Matthew 23:11The greatest among you shall be your servant.Matthew 23:12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.Matthew 23:13Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let in those who wish to enter.Matthew 23:14Matthew 23:15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.Matthew 23:16Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’Matthew 23:17You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes it sacred?Matthew 23:18And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’Matthew 23:19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?Matthew 23:20So then, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.Matthew 23:21And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.Matthew 23:22And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.Matthew 23:23Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.Matthew 23:24You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.Matthew 23:25Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.Matthew 23:26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.Matthew 23:27Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.Matthew 23:28In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.Matthew 23:29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.Matthew 23:30And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’Matthew 23:31So you testify against yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.Matthew 23:32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.Matthew 23:33You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?Mark 7:1Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,Mark 7:2and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.Mark 7:3Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.Mark 7:4And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.Mark 7:5So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”Mark 7:6Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.Mark 7:7They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’Mark 7:8You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”Mark 7:9He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.Mark 7:10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’Mark 7:11But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),Mark 7:12he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.Mark 7:13Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”Mark 7:14Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:Mark 7:15Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”Luke 7:30But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
