Mat 23:23 NIV 23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
This is a tough teaching for the religious leaders of Jesus’s day. Jesus was making sure they knew that they would be accountable for practicing what they teach. Just because someone is a good teacher it does not mean they are living faithfully.
