It highlights a pattern of behavior that is consistent with their previous actions. The context is Jesus' series of "woes" against the religious leaders, emphasizing their failure to live up to the spiritual standards they profess.on the outside you appear to be righteous The Pharisees and scribes were known for their strict adherence to the Law and their public displays of religious devotion. This appearance of righteousness was often demonstrated through meticulous observance of rituals and traditions. However, Jesus points out that this external appearance does not reflect their true spiritual state. This critique aligns with Old Testament warnings against superficial worship, such as in <a href="/isaiah/29-13.htm">Isaiah 29:13</a>, where God condemns those who honor Him with their lips while their hearts are far from Him.but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness Jesus exposes the internal corruption of the religious leaders, contrasting their outward appearance with their inner reality. Hypocrisy, in this context, refers to the act of pretending to be virtuous or religious while concealing one's true motives or character. Wickedness encompasses moral corruption and evil intentions. This internal state is reminiscent of the "whitewashed tombs" metaphor used earlier in the chapter, where Jesus describes the leaders as clean on the outside but full of dead bones and impurity within. This critique is a call to genuine repentance and transformation, echoing the prophetic tradition of calling Israel back to heartfelt obedience to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this verse, addressing the scribes and Pharisees, highlighting their hypocrisy. 2. <a href="/topical/s/scribes_and_pharisees.htm">Scribes and Pharisees</a> Jewish religious leaders known for their strict adherence to the law and traditions, yet criticized by Jesus for their hypocrisy. 3. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city where Jesus delivered this discourse, a central place for Jewish worship and teaching. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_temple.htm">The Temple</a> While not directly mentioned in this verse, it is the backdrop for many of Jesus' teachings in <a href="/bsb/matthew/23.htm">Matthew 23</a>. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_disciples_and_the_crowd.htm">The Disciples and the Crowd</a> The audience listening to Jesus' rebuke of the religious leaders, learning from His teachings.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_danger_of_hypocrisy.htm">The Danger of Hypocrisy</a> Hypocrisy is a grave sin that Jesus condemns.
