Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

The verse 28 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.

Also auch ihr: von außen scheint ihr den Menschen fromm, aber in wendig seid ihr voller Heuchelei und Untugend.
Así también vosotros de fuera, a la verdad, os mostráis justos a los hombres; mas de dentro, llenos estáis de hipocresía e iniquidad.
Así también ustedes parecen justos por fuera ante la gente, pero por dentro están llenos de hipocresía y maldad.
Vous de même, au dehors, vous paraissez justes aux hommes, mais, au dedans, vous êtes pleins d'hypocrisie et d'iniquité.
Così ancora voi apparite giusti di fuori agli uomini; ma dentro, siete pieni d’ipocrisia e d’iniquità.
Assim também vós exteriormente pareceis justos aos homens, mas interiormente estais cheios de hipocrisia e de iniqüidade.
你們也是如此,外面對人顯出公義,裏面卻滿了虛偽和不法的事。
