In Matthew 23, Jesus addresses the Pharisees and teachers of the law, calling them hypocrites for their outward displays of righteousness while neglecting justice, mercy, and faithfulness. He warns them of their deceitful behavior, comparing them to snakes and vultures. He also condemns their love of titles and positions of power, cautioning that those who exalt themselves will be humbled.
Verse: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former." – Matthew 23:23
