  • Heb 4:12-13 : 12 For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and open unto the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
  • Matt 15:1-9 : 1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die. 5 But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me; 6 And does not honor his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have you made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him? 26 But if we say, From men; we fear the people, for all hold John as a prophet. 27 And they answered Jesus and said, We do not know. And 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 in Moses' seat: 3 Therefore, whatever they ask you to observe, that observe and do; but do not do according to their works: for they say and do not. 4 For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do to be seen by men: they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 and love the best places at feasts and the chief seats in the synagogues,
  • Matt 23:15-24 : 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you travel land and sea to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. 16 Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated! 17 Fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 18 And, Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is guilty. 19 Fools and blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it and by him that dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it. 23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy, and faith: these you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.
