00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.679
 There are few things that people hate more than hypocrisy.

00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:12.679
 When people say one thing and yet do another or say another.

00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:18.219
! Politicians are a familiar example of this.

00:00:18.219 --> 00:00:22.320
! So often they make promises of what they will do when they're elected.

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.039
 And then once they're elected, they break those promises.

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:34.200
 Or sometimes even worse, they'll get caught doing something completely opposite to what they promised.

00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:45.420
 Well, even worse than the stench of political hypocrisy is that of religious hypocrisy.

00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:54.879
 Many times people who call themselves Christians or even pastors have been caught red-handed

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.620
 in an ongoing pattern of immoral behavior.

00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:05.040
 Just as an example of this, you might have heard of this guy, Rabbi Zacharias.

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.400
 He was internationally known as a defender of the Christian faith.

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:12.140
 He wrote books.

00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:18.060
 He spoke all over the place in churches, schools, universities.

00:01:18.739 --> 00:01:25.920
 And then it came out that for at least 10 years leading up to his death, possibly longer,

00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:32.219
 he'd been living in gross sexual immorality and had committed numerous acts of sexual abuse.

00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:37.879
 Well, he's one of the big stories out there.

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:49.060
 But on a smaller scale, many people have smelled firsthand the stench of a local Christian hypocrite.

00:01:50.379 --> 00:01:56.719
 It might look like someone who's always condescending and critical of others.

00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:04.299
 It might look like someone who's super concerned about moral purity or about believing just the right things.

00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:11.639
 But everybody knows that they have little compassion or concern for anybody but themselves.

00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:18.259
 And it might show up just in the kinds of comments that they make or the things that they say.

00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:25.840
 And so people have been quick to conclude that Christians are a bunch of hypocrites.

00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.179
 Maybe you've heard that said.

00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:39.239
 But what might come as a surprise to many is that Jesus himself had a bone to pick with hypocrites.

00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:48.700
 In our journey through the Gospel of Luke, we've seen how Jesus had a lot of attention from the religious groups.

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.379
 The Pharisees and the religious law teachers.

00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.120
 They tried to label him as a blasphemer.

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:03.800
 They saw him spending time with the questionable in society.

00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:07.260
 A group of tax collectors and their friends.

00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:16.280
 And they tried to dirty Jesus' reputation by spreading news that Jesus hangs out with tax collectors and sinners and drunkards.

00:03:17.679 --> 00:03:22.039
 They tried to call into question whether he was really devoted to God.

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.739
 You know, we Pharisees, we fast and pray often.

00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.799
 But we don't see your disciples doing that very much.

00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.359
 They accused him of failing to keep the Sabbath day holy.

00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.700
 Working on the Sabbath when he was healing people.

00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:45.980
 They were incensed that he pronounced forgiveness to a repentant prostitute.

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.800
 Who they felt should have been stoned to death.

00:03:51.880 --> 00:03:58.020
 And eventually, this sort of antagonism from the Pharisees just keeps on building.

00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:05.660
 We've heard just recently about how it came to the point where they accused him of casting out a demon by the power of Satan.

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:08.439
 Earlier in this chapter.

00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:17.639
 We read in Luke 6 verse 11 that the Pharisees were furious.

00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.939
 And they began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:29.079
 And it's here in chapter 11 that things really come to a head.

00:04:29.579 --> 00:04:31.740
 Between Jesus and the religious leaders.

00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:35.660
 Jesus is invited over to a Pharisee's house.

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.699
 And Jesus just unleashes on them.

00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:44.120
 He calls them out for their hypocrisy.

00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.199
 Let's read what happened here in Luke 11 starting in verse 37.

00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:52.780
 When Jesus had finished speaking.

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.900
 A Pharisee invited Jesus to eat with him.

00:04:56.899 --> 00:05:01.379
 So he went in and reclined at the table.

00:05:02.599 --> 00:05:04.120
 Now that might be surprising.

00:05:04.859 --> 00:05:05.019
 If you.

00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:08.259
 Just one moment ago they were saying.

00:05:08.359 --> 00:05:09.959
 Jesus you're in league with Satan.

00:05:10.979 --> 00:05:13.539
 And the next minute they're inviting him over for dinner.

00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.239
 There's something fishy about this.

00:05:17.719 --> 00:05:20.379
 And we know from later on in this passage.

00:05:21.099 --> 00:05:23.339
 That this is not just one Pharisee.

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:26.060
 But several Pharisees.

00:05:26.719 --> 00:05:27.279
 And religious.

00:05:29.179 --> 00:05:30.159
 Law teachers.

00:05:30.619 --> 00:05:31.779
 Who are present at this meal.

00:05:32.939 --> 00:05:35.319
 And so with the tensions as high as they are.

00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:37.639
 This is going to be an interesting meal.

00:05:39.719 --> 00:05:40.679
 Let's keep going.

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.299
 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed.

00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.739
 That Jesus did not first wash.

00:05:46.339 --> 00:05:47.319
 Before the meal.

00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.699
 So Jesus hardly even gets to sitting down.

00:05:50.699 --> 00:05:53.740
 And he's already offended them.

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.459
 Now of course we read this from our modern viewpoint.

00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:59.639
 And we might even be surprised ourselves.

00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.379
 That Jesus didn't wash his hands.

00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:02.779
 Before the meal.

00:06:04.039 --> 00:06:06.599
 But this wasn't the same kind of washing.

00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:07.599
 That we're used to.

00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.000
 Back then.

00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.620
 Mark actually tells us in his gospel.

00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.759
 That the Pharisees did not eat.

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.259
 Unless they gave their hands.

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.099
 A ceremonial washing.

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.339
 Holding to the tradition of the elders.

00:06:19.339 --> 00:06:22.239
 And this ritual washing.

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:24.339
 They would dip their hands in a bowl of water.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.500
 It wasn't about hygiene.

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.560
 It was actually about maintaining ritual purity.

00:06:31.119 --> 00:06:31.939
 Religious purity.

00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.120
 As if somehow being out in the marketplace.

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.639
 Could contaminate you.

00:06:37.479 --> 00:06:40.559
 Because you'd be coming into contact with the unclean.

00:06:41.679 --> 00:06:42.839
 And so just in case.

00:06:42.899 --> 00:06:45.179
 We're going to do this washing before the meal.

00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:47.600
 So that when we put our hands to our mouths.

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.360
 We're not contaminating in here.

00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.699
 Well Jesus decides to forgo the ritual.

00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:56.920
 And the Pharisee.

00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:58.579
 And probably all of his guests.

00:06:58.840 --> 00:07:00.560
 Just sort of express their surprise.

00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:01.500
 And their amazement.

00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:03.480
 Like who does this guy think he is?

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:05.160
 He doesn't need.

00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.000
 To cleanse his hands.

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.759
 After being out among the unclean masses.

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:16.339
 Well this turns out to be the spark that sets Jesus off.

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:19.639
 And truthfully.

00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.000
 Jesus knows that he hasn't just been invited over.

00:07:22.159 --> 00:07:23.879
 For a nice meal with the Pharisees.

00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:25.560
 And so.

00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:27.120
 This is where it's just.

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:28.519
 We're going to cut right to it.

00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.019
 And Jesus.

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.860
 Starts to speak.

00:07:32.539 --> 00:07:33.159
 Verse 39.

00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:34.880
 Then the Lord said to him.

00:07:35.380 --> 00:07:35.800
 Now then.

00:07:36.280 --> 00:07:37.320
 You Pharisees.

00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:38.660
 Clean the outside.

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:40.240
 Of the cup.

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:41.400
 And dish.

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:43.580
 But inside.

00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:46.120
 You are full of greed.

00:07:46.900 --> 00:07:47.800
 And wickedness.

00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:50.879
 You foolish people.

00:07:52.060 --> 00:07:53.040
 Did not the one.

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:54.000
 Who made.

00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:55.120
 The outside.

00:07:55.900 --> 00:07:56.160
 Make.

00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:57.080
 The inside.

00:07:57.220 --> 00:07:57.620
 Also.

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.379
 So he just tears into them.

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:02.219
 You Pharisees.

00:08:02.219 --> 00:08:03.540
 Are a bunch of hypocrites.

00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:05.519
 You're all concerned with.

00:08:05.779 --> 00:08:06.899
 Outward appearances.

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:08.939
 While on the inside.

00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:10.860
 You guys are full of greed.

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:13.040
 And wickedness.

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:15.579
 He says.

00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:16.240
 You're like a guy.

00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.279
 Who just washes the outside of the dish.

00:08:18.899 --> 00:08:20.259
 So that it looks good.

00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:21.019
 On the outside.

00:08:21.019 --> 00:08:22.500
 To everybody who sees.

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:24.480
 But then on the inside.

00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.379
 Of the bowl.

00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.500
 It's filthy.

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:27.899
 It's nasty.

00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:30.980
 And he calls them fools.

00:08:31.379 --> 00:08:32.159
 He says.

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:33.399
 You guys are a bunch of fools.

00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.820
 You think God only cares.

00:08:35.820 --> 00:08:36.980
 About the external.

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:39.879
 How foolish.

00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:40.259
 God.

00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:41.399
 God sees.

00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.340
 And cares about.

00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.159
 Who you are.

00:08:43.259 --> 00:08:44.460
 On the inside.

00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:45.980
 Just as much as.

00:08:46.299 --> 00:08:46.840
 The outside.

00:08:49.179 --> 00:08:51.360
 You might be able to fool others.

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.840
 Who are looking at you.

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.039
 Watching you.

00:08:55.659 --> 00:08:57.519
 But you can't fool God.

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:57.600
 God.

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:04.379
 Verse 41.

00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:06.419
 Jesus says.

00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:08.279
 Now as for what is inside you.

00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.179
 Be generous to the poor.

00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.439
 And everything will be clean for you.

00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:14.799
 Another translation.

00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:15.759
 Says it this way.

00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:17.480
 But give from your heart.

00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:18.939
 To those in need.

00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.059
 And then everything will be clean for you.

00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:28.079
 the Pharisees were known for putting on a show with their gifts

00:09:28.079 --> 00:09:31.959
 they weren't giving from the heart

00:09:31.959 --> 00:09:34.819
 because they actually cared about people

00:09:34.819 --> 00:09:40.000
 Jesus alludes to this another time when he tells his followers

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.479
 not to be like some who when they give to the needy

00:09:43.479 --> 00:09:45.039
 they announce it with trumpets

00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:49.279
 so that they can be seen by others and honored by others

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:56.779
 Jesus basically saying you give to the needy to look clean and polished and good on the outside

00:09:56.779 --> 00:09:59.919
 well you might fool other people

00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:02.639
 but you can't fool God

00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.879
 don't worry about the external

00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.199
 and what other people think or see

00:10:10.199 --> 00:10:11.639
 worry about the inside

00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.379
 what's in your heart

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:17.879
 let your gifts

00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:19.220
 your generosity

00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:20.080
 your kindness

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:20.939
 your compassion

00:10:20.939 --> 00:10:22.639
 come out of your heart

00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.159
 give out of that

00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.740
 and then everything will be clean for you

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:31.779
 the externals will be clean

00:10:31.779 --> 00:10:35.019
 because they flow from a good and clean and right heart

00:10:35.019 --> 00:10:41.620
 and then from here Jesus just

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:44.820
 digs in even more

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.960
 woe to you Pharisees

00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:53.179
 because you give God a tenth of your mint

00:10:53.179 --> 00:10:54.379
 rue

00:10:54.379 --> 00:10:57.600
 and all other kinds of garden herbs

00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.399
 but you neglect justice

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.899
 and the love of God

00:11:02.899 --> 00:11:08.139
 you should have practiced the latter without leaving the former

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:09.320
 undone

00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:15.220
 that word woe basically means warning

00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:16.440
 or tragedy

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.520
 God's judgment is coming

00:11:18.520 --> 00:11:21.860
 you're in deep trouble with him

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:24.960
 why?

00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.160
 Jesus says because you're so meticulous as to give a tenth

00:11:30.160 --> 00:11:31.379
 not just of your wages

00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:32.780
 but even of your herbs

00:11:32.780 --> 00:11:33.960
 from your herb garden

00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.600
 can you imagine that?

00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:40.460
 one mint leave for

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.680
 the Lord

00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:43.259
 nine for me

00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:44.620
 one for the tithe

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:45.519
 nine for me

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.019
 they're so meticulously focused on that

00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:50.840
 and Jesus says

00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.259
 yet you

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:52.300
 you neglect

00:11:52.300 --> 00:11:53.379
 justice

00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:55.740
 you neglect

00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:56.960
 the love of God

00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.519
 itself

00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:04.120
 they've missed the whole point

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:11.120
 again

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.740
 you might be fooling others

00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:13.840
 with this sort of

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.379
 appearance of righteousness

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:18.179
 but you can't fool God

00:12:18.179 --> 00:12:22.500
 they were doing all kinds of religious things

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:24.139
 including this hand washing

00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:27.720
 things that have the appearance of righteousness

00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.519
 but it wasn't out of a love for God

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:35.299
 he keeps going

00:12:35.299 --> 00:12:37.059
 woe to you Pharisees

00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:40.939
 because you love the most important seats in the synagogues

00:12:40.939 --> 00:12:44.379
 and respectful greetings in the marketplace

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:51.019
 just a warning about pride

00:12:51.019 --> 00:12:55.059
 you love the attention from other people

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:56.100
 you're proud

00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:56.919
 you're arrogant

00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.379
 in your heart

00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:00.519
 it's all about you

00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.980
 he keeps going

00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:04.960
 woe to you

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.019
 because you are like unmarked graves

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:09.580
 which people walk over without knowing it

00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:14.139
 according to Old Testament law

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:16.519
 touching a dead body

00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:17.519
 made you unclean

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.939
 and God had given a sort of set of purity laws

00:13:20.939 --> 00:13:22.379
 they weren't to touch dead bodies

00:13:22.379 --> 00:13:23.259
 and if they did

00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:24.080
 if they had to

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:25.080
 they would be unclean

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.740
 and that meant they wouldn't be able to go to the tabernacle

00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:28.500
 or the temple

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:31.600
 until they'd waited a certain period of time

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.399
 so there was purity laws

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:36.659
 that God gave

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:39.220
 but the Pharisees had gone way beyond this

00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:43.860
 they had added all kinds of man-made laws and rules

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:46.840
 this washing of hands was one of them

00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.399
 they would cleanse the dishes and the utensils in their house

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.200
 and go on and on with it

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.060
 but Jesus basically says

00:13:55.060 --> 00:13:56.779
 forget the cleansing of your hands

00:13:56.779 --> 00:14:00.720
 you yourselves are as unclean as a grave

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.820
 or a tomb with dead bodies inside

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:06.360
 and what's worse

00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:07.060
 he says

00:14:07.060 --> 00:14:10.060
 you're basically infecting and defiling other people

00:14:10.060 --> 00:14:11.800
 who are following you

00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:13.660
 without them even realizing it

00:14:13.660 --> 00:14:20.420
 you guys think you're guides to the blind

00:14:20.420 --> 00:14:22.760
 to lead them to heaven

00:14:22.760 --> 00:14:23.960
 to the path of life

00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:24.879
 but in reality

00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.180
 your false religion is leading them into death

00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:30.719
 to the grave

00:14:30.719 --> 00:14:39.339
 then one of the experts in the law answered him

00:14:39.339 --> 00:14:41.279
 teacher when you say these things

00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:42.759
 you insult us also

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:45.279
 Jesus replied

00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.620
 and you experts in the law

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:49.059
 woe to you

00:14:49.059 --> 00:14:51.539
 because you load people down

00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:53.459
 with burdens they can hardly carry

00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:58.120
 and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them

00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.800
 woe to you

00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:02.720
 because you build tombs for the prophets

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.160
 and it was your ancestors who killed them

00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:10.860
 so you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did

00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:12.620
 they killed the prophets

00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:15.019
 and you build their tombs

00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:18.639
 because of this

00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.100
 God in his wisdom said

00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:22.420
 I will send them prophets and apostles

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:24.159
 some of whom they will kill

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.139
 and others

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:26.379
 they will persecute

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:28.779
 therefore this generation

00:15:28.779 --> 00:15:30.000
 will be held responsible

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.819
 for the blood of all the prophets

00:15:31.819 --> 00:15:33.019
 that has been shed

00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:33.879
 since the beginning

00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.079
 of the world

00:15:35.079 --> 00:15:36.620
 from the blood of Abel

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:37.979
 to the blood of Zechariah

00:15:37.979 --> 00:15:39.519
 who was killed between the altar

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.699
 and the sanctuary

00:15:40.699 --> 00:15:41.500
 yes

00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:42.579
 I tell you

00:15:42.579 --> 00:15:43.779
 this generation

00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:45.360
 will be held responsible

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.899
 for it all

00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:50.719
 Jesus just lets them have it

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:52.740
 his denunciation

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:54.139
 could hardly be stronger

00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:57.460
 maybe the religious lawyers

00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:58.160
 thought that

00:15:58.160 --> 00:15:59.500
 they were kind of separate

00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:00.660
 from the Pharisees

00:16:00.660 --> 00:16:03.820
 but they were taking offense

00:16:03.820 --> 00:16:04.379
 at the things

00:16:04.379 --> 00:16:05.200
 Jesus was saying

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:06.200
 to the Pharisees

00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.399
 and Jesus just

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.779
 turns it right on them

00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:10.700
 as well

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:12.160
 you think it's just them

00:16:12.160 --> 00:16:13.660
 in danger of God's judgment

00:16:13.660 --> 00:16:15.180
 woe to you too

00:16:15.180 --> 00:16:17.580
 all your extra rules

00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:18.300
 and laws

00:16:18.299 --> 00:16:18.939
 and traditions

00:16:18.939 --> 00:16:20.579
 they haven't helped people

00:16:20.579 --> 00:16:21.459
 obey God

00:16:21.459 --> 00:16:25.099
 the people look to you

00:16:25.099 --> 00:16:26.659
 for spiritual wisdom

00:16:26.659 --> 00:16:27.479
 and guidance

00:16:27.479 --> 00:16:29.799
 but all you're doing

00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:31.019
 is loading them down

00:16:31.019 --> 00:16:31.759
 with a burden

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.719
 that they can't carry

00:16:33.719 --> 00:16:36.679
 you don't even care about them

00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:37.500
 you're not even willing

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:39.019
 to lift one finger

00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:40.599
 to help them with this

00:16:40.599 --> 00:16:45.819
 you guys are just like

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:46.360
 your fathers

00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:47.480
 who rejected

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:48.340
 the word of God

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:48.960
 who killed

00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:49.620
 the prophets

00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:50.360
 sent to them

00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.180
 you kind of just

00:16:52.180 --> 00:16:53.300
 finish and endorse

00:16:53.300 --> 00:16:55.800
 what they did

00:16:55.800 --> 00:16:57.600
 by building places

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:58.160
 of burial

00:16:58.160 --> 00:16:58.800
 for them

00:16:58.800 --> 00:17:06.160
 he says

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.140
 you will be responsible

00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:07.880
 for the blood

00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:08.759
 of all the prophets

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.640
 that have been killed

00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:10.720
 from the first one

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.080
 to the last one

00:17:12.080 --> 00:17:14.160
 scathing

00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.080
 remarks

00:17:15.080 --> 00:17:16.220
 from Jesus

00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:18.400
 but maybe

00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.140
 verse 52

00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:19.600
 is

00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:21.160
 one of the hardest

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:21.940
 things for them

00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.440
 to hear

00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.160
 woe to you

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:27.160
 experts in the law

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:27.860
 because you have

00:17:27.860 --> 00:17:28.440
 taken away

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.120
 the key

00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:30.080
 to knowledge

00:17:30.080 --> 00:17:31.800
 you yourselves

00:17:31.800 --> 00:17:32.779
 have not entered

00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:33.820
 and you have

00:17:33.820 --> 00:17:34.680
 hindered those

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.720
 who were entering

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.800
 like imagine

00:17:38.800 --> 00:17:39.840
 hearing this

00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:41.600
 when it comes

00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:42.340
 to the door

00:17:42.339 --> 00:17:43.720
 to knowledge

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.500
 I mean these

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:46.379
 guys are considered

00:17:46.379 --> 00:17:47.099
 the experts

00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:47.759
 in the law

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.500
 Jesus says

00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:50.159
 you haven't given

00:17:50.159 --> 00:17:51.019
 people the key

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:53.799
 you've taken it

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:54.599
 away from them

00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:58.179
 you guys are

00:17:58.179 --> 00:17:58.619
 ignorant

00:17:58.619 --> 00:17:59.379
 you haven't

00:17:59.379 --> 00:17:59.859
 entered

00:17:59.859 --> 00:18:02.439
 and even worse

00:18:02.439 --> 00:18:03.099
 you're making it

00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:03.859
 more difficult

00:18:03.859 --> 00:18:04.519
 for those who

00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:05.339
 are trying to

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:12.339
 when Jesus

00:18:12.339 --> 00:18:13.079
 went outside

00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:13.879
 the Pharisees

00:18:13.879 --> 00:18:14.439
 and the teachers

00:18:14.439 --> 00:18:14.939
 of the law

00:18:14.939 --> 00:18:15.500
 began to

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:16.059
 oppose him

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:16.559
 fiercely

00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:17.399
 and to

00:18:17.399 --> 00:18:18.119
 besiege him

00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:18.899
 with questions

00:18:18.899 --> 00:18:20.059
 waiting to

00:18:20.059 --> 00:18:20.559
 catch him

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.039
 in something

00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:21.500
 he might

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:21.839
 say

00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.419
 so now

00:18:25.419 --> 00:18:25.740
 they're

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.599
 really mad

00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.000
 Jesus

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:28.699
 just called

00:18:28.699 --> 00:18:29.079
 them out

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:29.559
 on this

00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:31.339
 he put

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:31.919
 his finger

00:18:31.919 --> 00:18:32.539
 on

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:34.440
 their hypocrisy

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:35.659
 their pride

00:18:35.659 --> 00:18:37.460
 their arrogance

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:40.700
 he spoke

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:41.259
 the truth

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:42.240
 when he accused

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.019
 them of misleading

00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:43.539
 people

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:45.099
 and hindering

00:18:45.099 --> 00:18:45.359
 them

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:45.859
 leading them

00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:46.359
 astray

00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:46.859
 he says

00:18:46.859 --> 00:18:47.279
 you guys

00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:47.659
 are in

00:18:47.659 --> 00:18:47.980
 deeper

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:48.420
 trouble

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:48.839
 than you

00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:49.139
 even

00:18:49.139 --> 00:18:49.420
 know

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:51.819
 God's

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:52.359
 fed up

00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:52.599
 with

00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:53.799
 this

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.940
 and he's

00:18:56.940 --> 00:18:57.240
 got it

00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:57.460
 coming

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:57.920
 for you

00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.400
 so maybe

00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:03.960
 this morning

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.920
 if you

00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:05.660
 are here

00:19:05.660 --> 00:19:06.060
 and you've

00:19:06.060 --> 00:19:06.640
 ever felt

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:07.400
 fed up

00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:07.980
 with religious

00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:08.800
 hypocrisy

00:19:08.800 --> 00:19:13.440
 you're not

00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:13.800
 the only

00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:14.200
 one

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:17.620
 God

00:19:17.620 --> 00:19:18.060
 hates

00:19:18.060 --> 00:19:18.340
 it

00:19:18.340 --> 00:19:20.600
 Jesus

00:19:20.600 --> 00:19:21.180
 was fed

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:21.519
 up with

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:21.940
 it too

00:19:21.940 --> 00:19:25.580
 I love

00:19:25.580 --> 00:19:26.059
 how Jesus

00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:26.559
 just sort

00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.539
 of

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:29.220
 tells it

00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:29.600
 like it

00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:29.920
 is

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:31.600
 fearlessly

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:32.140
 to these

00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:32.480
 guys

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.320
 I mean

00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:33.680
 this is

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:34.400
 in part

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:34.779
 what will

00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:35.100
 lead to

00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:35.680
 his death

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.420
 saying

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:37.940
 these sorts

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:38.320
 of things

00:19:38.320 --> 00:19:38.740
 to them

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:40.440
 and

00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:40.840
 you know

00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:41.240
 it's pretty

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:41.980
 easy for us

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:42.320
 to hear

00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:42.660
 some of

00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:43.259
 these words

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:43.539
 and

00:19:43.539 --> 00:19:45.900
 sort of

00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:46.320
 cheer for

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:46.640
 Jesus

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:47.140
 yeah

00:19:47.140 --> 00:19:47.920
 go

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:48.519
 you tell

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:48.759
 them

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:53.420
 but I

00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:53.799
 hope that

00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:54.099
 Jesus

00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:54.539
 words

00:19:54.539 --> 00:19:55.680
 to them

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.059
 make

00:19:57.059 --> 00:19:57.700
 you

00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:59.180
 squirm

00:19:59.180 --> 00:19:59.460
 a little

00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:00.000
 as well

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.759
 and

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:02.160
 unsettle

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:02.539
 you a

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:02.680
 little

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:02.980
 bit

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:07.039
 those

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:07.339
 of us

00:20:07.339 --> 00:20:07.680
 who call

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:08.039
 ourselves

00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:08.460
 Christians

00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:08.960
 and have

00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.279
 a good

00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:09.920
 reputation

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:11.319
 and

00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:11.920
 go to

00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.339
 church

00:20:12.339 --> 00:20:12.819
 and hang

00:20:12.819 --> 00:20:13.220
 out with

00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:13.799
 the religious

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.379
 crowd

00:20:14.379 --> 00:20:14.920
 we're

00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:15.579
 especially

00:20:15.579 --> 00:20:16.220
 vulnerable

00:20:16.220 --> 00:20:17.839
 to hypocrisy

00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.099
 and I

00:20:21.099 --> 00:20:21.459
 think we've

00:20:21.459 --> 00:20:21.819
 all done

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:21.959
 it

00:20:21.959 --> 00:20:22.259
 haven't

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:22.459
 we

00:20:22.459 --> 00:20:25.339
 it's

00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:25.659
 easy

00:20:25.659 --> 00:20:25.919
 to

00:20:25.919 --> 00:20:26.379
 pretend

00:20:26.379 --> 00:20:28.379
 it's

00:20:28.379 --> 00:20:28.599
 easy

00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:29.000
 to sort

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:29.119
 of

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:29.439
 put on

00:20:29.439 --> 00:20:29.919
 the show

00:20:29.919 --> 00:20:30.779
 for others

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.919
 to do

00:20:31.919 --> 00:20:32.439
 the things

00:20:32.439 --> 00:20:32.899
 we do

00:20:32.899 --> 00:20:33.259
 to be

00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:33.659
 seen

00:20:33.659 --> 00:20:33.899
 by

00:20:33.899 --> 00:20:34.359
 others

00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.939
 the things

00:20:37.939 --> 00:20:38.220
 that will

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:38.759
 make others

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:39.299
 think well

00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:39.839
 of us

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.399
 or compliment

00:20:42.399 --> 00:20:42.939
 us

00:20:42.939 --> 00:20:45.059
 and so

00:20:45.059 --> 00:20:45.399
 as much

00:20:45.399 --> 00:20:45.679
 as we

00:20:45.679 --> 00:20:45.939
 should

00:20:45.939 --> 00:20:46.359
 cheer

00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:46.959
 that Jesus

00:20:46.959 --> 00:20:47.459
 put the

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:47.880
 religious

00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:48.500
 hypocrites

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:48.960
 in their

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.360
 place

00:20:49.360 --> 00:20:49.920
 I hope

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.200
 that we

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:50.460
 also

00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:50.900
 take a

00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:51.140
 moment

00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:51.480
 to

00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:52.200
 think

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:52.460
 about

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:52.660
 whether

00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:52.980
 any

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:53.160
 of

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:53.360
 these

00:20:53.360 --> 00:20:53.700
 words

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:53.880
 of

00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:54.279
 rebuke

00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:54.519
 are

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:54.740
 for

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.079
 us

00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:58.539
 and if

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:58.640
 we're

00:20:58.640 --> 00:20:58.920
 not

00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.220
 willing

00:20:59.220 --> 00:20:59.480
 even

00:20:59.480 --> 00:20:59.660
 to

00:20:59.660 --> 00:20:59.880
 go

00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:00.180
 there

00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:02.079
 even

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.299
 to

00:21:02.299 --> 00:21:02.759
 consider

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:03.000
 if

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:03.120
 we're

00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:03.360
 like

00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:03.559
 the

00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:04.120
 Pharisees

00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:04.360
 then

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:04.759
 maybe

00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:04.980
 it's

00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:05.259
 because

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.480
 we

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:05.660
 are

00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:06.120
 proud

00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:09.840
 maybe

00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:10.000
 it's

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.259
 because

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:10.600
 we are

00:21:10.600 --> 00:21:10.980
 self

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:11.299
 righteous

00:21:11.299 --> 00:21:11.680
 like

00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:11.900
 they

00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:12.180
 were

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:16.880
 one

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:17.120
 of the

00:21:17.120 --> 00:21:17.460
 central

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:17.940
 messages

00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:18.279
 of

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:18.600
 Jesus

00:21:18.600 --> 00:21:19.019
 here

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:20.539
 is

00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:20.700
 that

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:20.880
 the

00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:21.480
 inside

00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:21.880
 of us

00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:22.420
 matters

00:21:22.420 --> 00:21:24.100
 just

00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:24.500
 as much

00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:24.799
 as the

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.279
 outside

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.180
 if not

00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:26.500
 more

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:27.980
 when it

00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:28.240
 comes

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:28.560
 to

00:21:28.560 --> 00:21:29.440
 the

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:30.440
 externals

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:30.740
 the

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.299
 outside

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:31.580
 our

00:21:31.580 --> 00:21:32.140
 behavior

00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:32.420
 the

00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:32.740
 things

00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:32.920
 that

00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:33.060
 we

00:21:33.060 --> 00:21:33.420
 say

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:34.060
 we

00:21:34.060 --> 00:21:34.299
 might

 spiritually
