1)In the mean time, when
there were gathered to
gather together an
innumerable multitude of
people, insomuch that they
trode one upon another, he
began to say unto his
disciples first of all, beware
ye of the leaven of the
Pharisees which is hypocrisy
2)For there is nothing
covered, that shall not be
revealed; neither hid, that
shall not be known
3)Therefore whatsoever ye
have spoken in darkness shall
be heard in the light; and
that which ye have spoken in
the ear in closets shall be
proclaimed upon the
housetops
BEWARE OF THE DOCTRINE
OF HYPOCRACY
PHARISEES- MEN THAT
SUBSTITUTE THE WORD OF GOD
FOR MANS TRADITION AND
COMMANDMENTS- These false
doctrines are called
(Hypocrisy, which is like
leaven or yeast because:
It may exist without being
immediately detected,
leaven mixed with flour, is
not known until it produce it
effects
So Hypocrisy if detected and
unremoved will soon pervade
all our teaching feelings and
acceptance
JESUS warned the crowd
and his disciples against
hypocrisy of the Religionist
and false teachers so that
such will not enter their life
Who are trying to appear
holy when there heart is far
from GOD
They act publicly as a godly
and faithful believer, when in
reality they harbor an
addictive habit of other
hidden sin such as lust,
greed, jealousy, or bitterness
The Religionist is deceiver in
the observance of
righteousness 3
The religionist could not
keep their attitude hidden of
selfishness, power-hungry
impostors who know the
truth but do not obey it
HYPOCRISY- is living a
sellfish life all for themselves
HYPOCRISY- Love position
and control not to serve but
to be worshipped
HYPOCRISY- Reduce Faith to
rigid rules, regulation,
program, which lead people
to worship regulation and
rules
HYPOCRISY- means acting as
if you
HYPOCRISY- is outward
conformity without internal
reality, people obey the
detail, but fail to have love,
mercy and compassion
towards others
HYPOCRISY- Is assign that
man does not fear GOD and
does not possess the Holy
Spirit with his regenerating
grace
THER IS NOTHING COVERED
THAT SHALL NOT BE REVEAL
JESUS warns believer that
all hypocrisy and hidden sin
of lust, covetousness, false
and deception, will be
exposed, if not in this life but
the life to come, the day of
judgment
SERVING HUMAN NEED NOT
CEREMONY
JESUS was angry with the
religionist for misguided
passion of ritual cleansing to
remove moral pollution, and 
prefer the religionist to have
the earnest desire to meet
the needs of the poor,
practice justice, and express
tender compassion by giving
alms’
MATHEW 7:15-16
15)Beware of false prophets
which come to you in sheep’s
clothing, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves
16)Ye shall know them by
their fruits, do men gather
grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles
FALSE PROPHETS
A false prophets is a teacher
of incorrect doctrine, or
falsely and incorrectly laying
claims to divine inspiration
who pretends to be
Christian guides, but whose
real purpose is selfishness.
Teachers who outwardly
appears righteous but
SHEEP’S CLOTHING I The
sheep is an emblem of
innocence ,when his heart is
full with evil inwardly are
RAVENING WOLVES:
Rapacious; devouring;
hungry even in rage, they
are full with extortion
KNOW THEM BY THEIR
FRUITS
v !- They will be
professing
Christianity whose
loyalty is more
personal that the
word of GOD
v 2-They will be more
concerned about
their own desire than
with GOD’S glory
and honor
v 3-Their doctrine is
self-centered rather
than GOD centered
v 4-They accept human
teachings and
traditions even when 5
those teaching
contradict the word
of GOD
MATHEW 7:21-23
21) Not every one that saith
unto me, LORD, LORD, shall
enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth
the will of my FATHER which
is in heaven
22)Many will say to me in
that day, LORD, LORD have
we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have
cast out devils? And in thy
name done many wonderful
works?
23)And then will I profess
unto them, I never knew you;
depart from me, ye that work
iniquity
NOT EVERY ONE THAT SAY
LORD ,LORD SHALL ENTER
INTO THE KINGDOM OF
HEAVEN
JESUS taught that carrying
out the will of the FATHER is
a condition of entering
heaven.
Not every one that calls
CHRIST his LORD and Master,
professes subjection to him,
or call upon his name or
make use of his public
administration but have no
heart of love to JESUS CHRIST
nor true faith in him shall
enter into the kingdom
MANY WILL SAY
That is in the last day, the
day of judgment, the great
and famous day fixed by
GOD, unknown to angels and
men, which will be terrible.
Many in the church who will
minister in his name and
believe that they are his
servants, yet in reality he
does not know them
To escape the deceit of the
last days, believers must be
totally committed to the
truth and the righteousness
reveal in GOD’S word and not
consider” ministerial success
“ as the standard by which to
judge their relation ship with
JESUS CHRIST

RELATED CHAPTER
ISAIAH 6:9-10
13)Therefore speak I to them
in parable; because they
seeing see not; and hearing
they hear not, neither do
they understand.
14)And in them is fulfilled
the prophesy of Isaiah, which
saith, by hearing ye shall
hear, and shall not
understand; and seeing ye
shall see, and shall not
perceive
15)For this people’s heat is
waxed gross, and their ears
are dull of hearing, and their
eyes they have closed; lest at
any time they should see
with their ears, and should
understand with their heart,
and should be converted and
I should heal them
16)But blessed are your
eyes, for they see; and your
ears, for they hear
THEREFORE SPEAK I TO
THEM IN PARABLE BECAUSE
THEY SEEING SEE NOT
They can See but refuse to
see, they can hear but refuse
to hear, they are capable of
understanding, but they
refuse to accept the truth
and desiring to hold on man’s
doctrines and
commandments
AND IN THEM IS FULFILLED
THE PROPHESY OF ISAIAH
It was literally fulfilled in the
time of JESUS CHRIST and the
present age, when the
religionist closed their eyes
upon the truth, and rejected
divine teaching.
WAXED GROSS they are
stupid and foolish in mind,
full of covetous and corrupt
that do not understand pure
spiritual principle of the
Gospel
LEST THEY SHOULD SEE AND
HEAR AND BE CONVERTED
He bring them to hear and
see , then makes them
understand and believe, then
he convert them, renews and
change their heart
Then he healed them,
forgive their sins, and accepts
their persons, as the same
work of faith in them gave
them the heart to repent

3)But he answered and said
unto them, why do ye also
transgress the
commandment of GOD by
your tradition
4)For GOD commanded,
saying, Honor thy Father and
Mother; and, he that curseth
Father or Mother, let him die
the death
5)But ye say, whosoever
shall say to his father or
mother, it is a gift, by
whatsoever thou mightiest
be profited by me;
6)And honor not his father
or mother, he shall be free,
thus have you made the
commandment of GOD of
none effect by your tradition
BUT WHY DO YOU
TRANSGRESS THE
COMMANDMENT OF GOD
BY YOUR TRADITION
The religionist are guilty of
violating The commandment
of God by their tradition that
is, placing their own view
above GOD’s Commandment
observing rules, regulation,
rituals and covetousness
FOR GOD SAID THROUGH
MOSES Honor your Father
and Mother and he who
speak evil of or insult or treat
improperly Father and
mother is to be put to death
But you say, if anyone
Say his father or Mother,
whatever money or
resources’ that one have is
already dedicated and given
to GOD, thereby making the
word of GOD of no effect
He is not to honor his Father
and Mother to help them of
their needs,
So by this you make the
word of God of no effect by
your man made

unto me with their mouth,
and honoreth me with their
lips; but their heart is far
from me

worship me, teaching for
doctrine the commandment

THE PEOPLE DRAW NIGH
UNTO ME
HYPOCRITE -pretend to so
much religion and holiness
and set aside the divine
commandments.
The religionist knows a lot
about GOD but do not know
GOD, when they claim to
honor GOD, while their heart
is far away from him.
THIS PEOPLE DRAW NIGH
UNTO ME
They make a great
profession, and pretend to
much devotion and virtue
but their heart is far from
me, they do not sincerely
love and obey me., they do
not give me their heart
IN VAIN THEY DO WORSHIP
ME
That is, idly, unprofitably
and of no purpose, their
worship does not attain the
end ,it neither pleases GOD
nor profit, they had no true
love of GOD, nor fear him
their heart were in the world
and after covetousness ; they
made religion a tool to their
secular purposes supposing
gain to be godliness
TEACHING FOR DOCTRINE
THE COMMANDMENT OF
MEN
Teaching rules, regulation
ceremonies, rituals according
to the commandment of men
and not GOD laying aside the
commandment of GOD and
hold the tradition of men

multitude, and said unto
them, hear, and understand

HEAR AND UNDERSTAND
Having shown the hypocrite
of the Pharisees, and
condemned them for
unwarrantable stress which
they laid on their vain and
unwarranted tradition of
outward strictness , JESUS
said is not the sorts of meats,
or drinks, or whatever proper
food, or manner of eating
and drinking them defiles a
man or render him
detestable or hateful in the
sight of GOD
But that which comes out of
the mouth, which takes its
rise from the heart come evil
thought defiles a man,:9

those that sold oxen and
sheep and doves, and the
changers of money sitting
15)And when he had made a

the oxen; and poured out the
changers’ money and
overthrew the tables

JESUS CLEARD THE TEMPLE
JESUS entered and Cleared
the temple of unrighteous
Merchants and money
changers, drove out with
force all who were buying
and selling birds, and animals
for sacrifice, he turned over
the tables of money changer
who are fraudulent in their
transactions and made profit
for exchanging.
JESUS fulfilled the prophesy
of MAL..3:1-3 which
demonstrate his Divine
authority with respect to
fraudulent and
commercialization of the
sacrifice system
In righteous anger he drove
from GOD’s house the
ungodly, the greedy, and
those who were destroying
the true spiritual purpose
Worshiping in Church must
be in spirit and in truth, and
condemned all those who
use Church for personal gain,
glory or self- promotion.
Sincere love of GOD and for
his redemptive purpose will
result in a consuming “Zeal”
for the righteousness of GOD
house and kingdom
GOD’S Temple was being
miss used by people who had
turned it into a market place,
they have forgotten or don’t
care that GOD house is a
place of worship and not a
place of profit making , our
attitude Is wrong if we see 10
the church as Personal and
business contact

6)Then JESUS said unto them
Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and
of the Sadducees
7)And they reasoned among
themselves, saying, it is
because we have taken no
bread
8)Which when JESUS
perceived, he said unto
them, o ye of little faith, why
reason ye among yourselves,
because ye have brought no
bread?
9)Do ye not yet understand,
neither remember the five
loaves of the five thousand,
and how many baskets ye
took up?
10)Neither the seven loaves
the four thousand, and how
many baskets ye took uo?
11)How is it that ye do not
understand that I spake in
not to you concerning bread,
that ye should beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and
the Sadducees?
12)Then understood they
how that he bade them not
beware of leaven of bread,
but of the doctrine of
Pharisees and of the
Sadducees
BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN OF
THE PARISEES
- TAKE HEED,
- THAT IS BE
CAUTIOUS,
- BE ON YOUR GUARD
THE LEAVEN OF PHARISEES
AND SADUSEES
Leaven /yeast is used in
bread to make it rise, it
passes secretly, silently
through the mass of bread
to affect the whole batch of
dough ,so is the doctrine of
the Pharisees and Sadducees,
the religionist the concealed
the real tendency of their
doctrines; they instilled them
secretly into the mind, until
they saturated all the
faculties like leaven /yeast.
JESUS used yeast as an
example of how a small
amount of evil can affect a
large group of people, the
wrong teachings and false
doctrine are leading people
astray,
BEWARE JESUS SAYS
The doctrine of the
religionist were the evil
corruption that is the
commandment and
inventions of men, the
tradition of elders, rules,
regulation, ritual not
according to the teaching
and doctrine of GOD
MATHEW 22:29
29) JESUS answered and said
unto them, ye do err, not
knowing the scriptures nor
the power of GOD
YE DO ERR- Not Knowing the
The religionist of the
Sadducees’ thought that
their will be marriage in the 11
next life based on the Gospel
of resurrection .
JESUS said you do not know
either the scripture or the
power of GOD to resurrected
men, men and women in
resurrection will not marry
The purpose of marriage is
to replenish the earth and
keep the race going,
Resurrected saints and
Angels do not die and do not
need to marry to keep their
kind in existence
We must not make our own
ideas about what heaven
and GOD with human
reasoning, but should
concentrate more on our
relationship with GOD
MATHEW 23:1-3
1)Then spake JESUS to the
multitude, and his disciples
2) Saying, the scribes and the
Pharisees sit in Moses seat
3)All therefore whatsoever
they bid you observe, that

say, and do not
JESUS REBUKE THE
RELIGIONIST FOR FALSE
AND MAN’S DOCTRINE
Warning his followers about
the religionist of hypocritical,
self-righteousness, self
centered outward form ,
they held man made rules,
and told people to obey the
rules but did not do it
themselves
JESUS CHRIST command us to
observe the doctrine, but not
to follow the evil examples,
of the religionist, particularly
no to imitate their selfish
ambition and lust
