In Matthew chapter 7, verse 15 it is written to beware of false prophets, "who come as wolves in sheep's clothing."

How does the story go in Aesop's fable about a sheep being condemned for muddying the water?
A wolf wants an excuse to eat a lamb. He accuses the lamb of dirtying the river water he was about to drink, but the lamb says he couldn't have done that because he is downstream from the wolf. Then the wolf says the lamb said ugly things about him a year ago. The lamb objects, because he was not born a year ago. Angrily, the wolf shouts that it must have been his father, so the lamb was equally guilty. He devours the lamb. Moral: any excuse will serve a tyrant.

What does the idiom a wolf in sheeps clothing mean?
It is from a short story by Aesop. The summary of the story is that a wolf wanted to get at the sheep but because of the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. One day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt so it could blend in and not get caught. The lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the wolf was wearing, began to follow the wolf in the sheep's clothing. Managing to lead the Lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her. The wolf continued to succeed in deceiving the sheep, and enjoyed hearty meals. The moral of the story (and the meaning of the idiom) is that looks can be deceptive.
