  • Heb 4:12-13 : 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from His sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give an account.
  • Matt 15:1-9 : 1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.” 3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.’ 5 But you say that if anyone declares to their father or mother, ‘What you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to honor their father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, saying, 8 ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
  • Matt 21:23-27 : 23 When he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, 'By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?' 24 Jesus answered them, 'I will also ask you one question. If you answer it for me, then I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 Where did John’s baptism come from? From heaven or from men?' They discussed it among themselves, saying, 'If we say, 26 But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the crowd, because everyone considers John to be a prophet. 27 So they answered Jesus, 'We do not know.' Then he said to them, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.'
  • Matt 23:2-6 : 2 saying, 'The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat of authority. 3 So do and observe whatever they tell you, but do not do as they do, for they say things but do not practice them. 4 They tie up heavy and unbearable burdens, and place them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. They make their phylacteries broad and their tassels long. 6 They love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues,
  • Matt 23:15-24 : 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a child of hell as you are. 16 Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.' 17 You fools and blind! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 18 And you say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is obligated.' 19 You fools and blind! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore, whoever swears by the altar swears by it and everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it. 23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You tithe mint, dill, and cumin but have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These you ought to have done without neglecting the others. 24 Blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
  • Matt 28:18 : 18 Then Jesus came closer and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.'
  • Mark 7:5-9 : 5 So the Pharisees and the scribes questioned Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with unwashed hands?" 6 He answered them, "Isaiah rightly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.' 7 They worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. 8 You have abandoned the commandment of God and hold onto human traditions, including the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other similar things." 9 He also said to them, "How skillfully you set aside the commandment of God in order to uphold your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.' 11 But you say, 'If anyone says to his father or mother, "Whatever help you might have received from me is Corban"' (that is, devoted to God), 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother. 13 You nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."

  • Luke 20:46-47 : 46 'Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, love respectful greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows’ houses and make long prayers for appearance’s sake. These will receive a greater condemnation.
