The verse 18 is found in chapter 23 of Matthew. The woes against scribes and Pharisees denounce obstacles placed before others, selective ritualism, pride, and persecution. The severe language functions as a prophetic denunciation of a religiosity that preserves an appearance of piety while contradicting its own values.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
