23:23你們這假冒為善的文士和法利賽人有禍了！因為你們將薄荷、茴香、芹菜，獻上十分之一，那律法上更重的事，就是公義、憐憫、信實，反倒不行了。這更重的是你們當行的；那也是不可不行的。
23:24 你們這瞎眼領路的，蠓蟲你們就濾出來，駱駝你們倒吞下去。
You Pharisees and teachers are show-offs,
and you’re in for trouble! You give God a tenth of the spices from your garden,
such as mint, dill, and cumin. Yet you neglect the more important matters of
the Law, such as justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the important
things you should have done, though you should not have left the others undone
either. You blind leaders! You strain out a small fly but swallow a camel.

耶穌批評法利賽人只有外表遵守律法，卻沒有活出律法要求的：公義、憐憫、信實。這是不是也是一般教會要反省的，口口聲聲說高舉聖經，講求品格，然而卻沒有信靠耶穌行公義、好憐憫，存誠實和謙卑的心與上帝同行呢！
心中盼望的只是組織的擴大，財富的累積，使更多人知道教會的名聲，卻沒有活出耶穌基督的教訓，更不用說信靠祂呢！
