Page 30 - Quintessential Gospel of Jesus Christ 1

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, Phonies! You take tithes of mint, dill, cumin,
and every kind of vegetable. You have overlooked the more important matters of
the law, such as justice, mercy, trustworthiness and the Love of God. These were
necessary for you to have done and these very issues by no means to have left
undone.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, Deceivers! You lay heavy burdens on men,
and you yourselves do not touch these burdens even with one of your fingers.

Then his disciples came up and said to him do you know that the Pharisees
who heard this saying were offended? He answered and said to them
every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. Can a
blind man guide a blind man? Leave them alone. They are blind guides of
the blind. The blind who lead around the blind both will fall. False Teacher,
Prophets

When a large number of people had gathered together they trod on one another.
Jesus began to say to his followers first of all watch and beware of the teaching
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees which is hypocrisy. Be careful of false
prophets who come to you in lamb’s clothing. Within they are ravening wolves.
They say thus say the Lord, yet I have not spoken to them nor commanded them
what to say. I am sending you righteous ones among barbarians. Be careful of
evil men they will deliver you up to the courts and they will scourge you in their
synagogues. They will bring you before the presence of governors and kings for
my sake. You will be my testimony to them and to the Gentiles. There is nothing
that is covered that will not be uncovered and hidden in secret and brought out to
be known. Whatever you have said in darkness will be heard in the light. What
you have whispered in the ears in the inner chambers will be preached on the
housetops.

The Pharisees when they heard all these things because they loved money
ridiculed him. Many of the leading men believed in him but because of the
Pharisees they did not confess it so that they might not be cast out of the
synagogue. They loved the honor of men more than the Word of God.
