7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said:+ 8 ‘This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshipping me, for they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”+

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you give the tenth of the mint and the dill and the cumin,+ but you have disregarded the weightier* matters of the Law, namely, justice+ and mercy+ and faithfulness.* These things it was necessary to do, yet not to disregard the other things.+

42 But woe to you Pharisees, because you give the tenth of the mint and of the rue and of every other* garden herb,*+ but you disregard the justice* and the love of God! These things you were under obligation to do, but not to disregard those other things.+
