Blind Pharisee! First, clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be cleaned. Matthew 23:26. My brothers and sisters in Christ, do not be misled; “Smooth lips with an evil heart are like the glaze on an earthen vessel.”

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside, you appear to people as righteous, but on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness, greed, and self-indulgence. Blind guides! You strain your water, so you won’t accidentally swallow a gnat, but you swallow a camel! “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? You must first clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, we must be careful of who shepherds our flock, for “If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
