Woe unto you, scribes [experts in the law WU] and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean
the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion [greed
WU] and excess [self-indulgence WU]. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is
within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you,
scribes [experts in the law WU] and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited
sepulchres [whitened tombs], which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of
dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto
men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity [wickedness WU]. Mat 23:25-28 Lk 11:39 People may look righteous on the outside, but
inside be full of greed, self-indulgence, hypocrisy, and wickedness. (Click gold Scripture references for Principle Interrelations)

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode [trampled] one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven [yeast] of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

For as the lightning, that lighteneth [flashes] out of the one part under heaven [of the sky WU], shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of [by] this generation.
