“Watch out,” Yeshua said to them, “and beware of the hametz of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Yeshua was warning them, “Watch out! Beware of the hametz of the Pharisees and the hametz of Herod.”
Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
Meanwhile, when thousands of people had gathered, so many that they were trampling one another, Yeshua began speaking first to His disciples, “Be on guard yourselves against the hametz of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Yeshua began telling a parable to those who had been invited, when He noticed how they were choosing the seats of honor. He said to them,
They devour widows’ houses and make long prayers as a show. These men will receive greater condemnation!”
Be tenderly devoted to one another in brotherly love; outdo one another in giving honor.
I wrote something to Messiah’s community, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t welcome us.
