The Hyppocrites

The Pharisees and Sadducees were religious leaders often condemned by Jesus for their hypocrisy. The Pharisees focused on external righteousness and legalism, while the Sadducees prioritized political power and denied spiritual truths. Jesus criticized them for their misuse of scripture and lack of genuine devotion to God. Their actions serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of hypocrisy and the importance of embracing grace over legalism.
