What are some examples of irony analogy and oxymoron in Literature?

Answer 1

Jesus called the Pharisees and teachers of the Law hypocrites on quite a number of occasions. See Matthew chapter 23.

On another occasion Judas was seen to be a hypocrite in relation to a comment he made. see verses 5 and 6:

John 12:1-81Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

2There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

3Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

7Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

8For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

Here Judas pretended to be concerned about the waste of money when he just wanted to steal from the bag and was not at all concerned about the waste. He wanted it for himself.
