They appeared to or they if fact followed all of the levitical laws to the letter. Jesus knew that doing so didn’t make them holy. They had no faith, and nothing they did had anything to do with loving God. Washing the outside of the cup as the inside is filthy…they did what they did to be seen by men who would boost their might ego!

∙ 13y agoJesus rejected the validity of the oral laws of the Pharisees and also their emphasis on ritual purity that made the Pharasee refuse any contact with sinners. Jesus came with the invitation to all people to enter the kingdom of God, while the Pharasee in effect dis-invited all who did not live by their standards. It was this exclusivism that Jesus objected to.
