3You won't go wrong in following their teachings on Moses. But be careful about following them. They talk a good line, but they don't live it. They don't take it into their hearts and live it out in their behavior. It's all spit-and-polish veneer.
AMP
4The scribes and Pharisees tie up heavy loads and place them on men's shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger .

AMP
15"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel over sea and land to make a single proselyte (convert to Judaism), and when he becomes a convert, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
MSG
15"You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You go halfway around the world to make a convert, but once you get him you make him into a replica of yourselves, double-damned.
AMP
16"Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the sanctuary of the temple, that is nothing (non-binding); but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated .'
MSG
16"You're hopeless! What arrogant stupidity! You say, 'If someone makes a promise with his fingers crossed, that's nothing; but if he swears with his hand on the Bible, that's serious.'
AMP
17You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the sanctuary of the temple that sanctified the gold?

MSG
23"You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but on the meat of God's Law, things like fairness and compassion and commitment—the absolute basics!—you carelessly take it or leave it. Careful bookkeeping is commendable, but the basics are required.

30and you say, 'If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'
MSG
30And you say that if you had lived in the days of your ancestors, no blood would have been on your hands.
AMP
31So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
