What Jesus Says About Hypocrisy And Hypocrites: Today's Christianity by iliyande(m): 10:41am On Dec 06, 2015
Jesus had the most to say about hypocrisy and hypocrites. Since He didn't mince any words on the subject, but directly confronted the religious hypocrites of His day (the scribes and Pharisees), they hated Him intensely - eventually having Him arrested on trumped up charges. Here is a list of some of the hypocrisy that Jesus spoke against:

Giving to the poor to be recognized by others

Praying in public to be recognized as "God's man

Letting everybody know you are fasting to get recognition by others

Complaining about other's behavior when yours is even worse

Pretending to honor God through lip service only

Testing other people to try to make yourself look superior

Deceiving people from knowing God

Repressing the poor and widows

Teaching proselytes to be hypocrites

Tithing (giving to the church), but neglecting justice and mercy

Doing everything for show, while really being self-indulgent and unrighteous

Treating stock animals better than fellow human beings

Being able to analyze the weather, but unable to distinguish between right and wrong


Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others." (Matthew 23:23)

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence." (Matthew 23:25)

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." (Matthew 23:27)
