Note sull'episodio
The Pharisaic hypocrisy was exposed by Jesus in the manner by which it was being expressed.
- First, the legal experts had removed the keys of the kingdom, and neither entered the kingdom themselves nor assisted others to enter (Mat 23:13-14).
- Second, in spreading their influence among the Hellenistic world (the Gentiles), they insisted that all converts live by the laws as they interpreted them, and thereby they perverted rather than converted people (Mat 23:15).
- Third, their hairsplitting distinctions as to which oaths were binding perverted the understanding of God and man's relationship to Him as the Creator and Governor of the universe (Mat 23:16-22).
