but do not you after their works: for they say, and do not.(The man made oral laws)
Matthew 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. (Hypocrites rules)
Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Matthew 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, (Look at me I am so better than you lay men are)
Matthew 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Matthew 23:8 But be not you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, Mashiach Yashua; and all you are brethren. (When one wants a title to be a big shot it is wrong)
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. (You call your earthly father “father” the titles are not out of bounds if used properly , but to call a priest father is wrong, he is not your Heavenly Father or your earthly father, but self lifted .)
Matthew 23:10 Neither be you called masters: for one is your Master, Mashiach Yashua.
Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the Torah, do by nature the things contained in the Torah, these, having not the Torah, are a Torah unto themselves:
Romans 2:15 Which show the work of the Torah written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Romans 2:17 Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Torah, and make your boast of Elohiym,
Romans 2:18 And know Yahveh’s will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the Torah;
Romans 2:19 And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
Romans 2:21 You therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? You that preaches a man should not steal, do you steal?
Romans 2:22 You that say a man should not commit adultery, do You commit adultery? You that abhor rest idols, do you commit sacrilege?

Romans 2:25 For circumcision verily profits, if you keep the Torah: but if you be a breaker of the Torah, Your circumcision is made uncircumcision.

Romans 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the Torah, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the Torah?
Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of Elohiym.
Romans 3:1 What advantage then has the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
Romans 3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Mark 12:38 Yashua said unto them in His doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

Luke 11:40 fools, did not He that made that which is without make that which is within also?

Luke 11:47 Woe unto you! for you build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

Luke 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

Luke 11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

Luke 11:53 And as Yashua said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him vehemently, and to provoke Him to speak of many things:
Luke 11:54 Laying wait for Yashua, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him. (They know the Torah and tried to use it against Yashua)
Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they stepped one upon another, Yashua began to say unto His disciples first of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Luke 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Luke 12:3 Therefore whatsoever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear Yahveh, which after He has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say unto you, Fear Yahveh.

Matthew 15:2 Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew 15:3 But Yashua answered and said unto them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of Elohiym by your tradition?
Mark 7:1 Then came together unto Yashua the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
Mark 7:2 And when they saw some of Yashua’s disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.
Mark 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
Mark 7:4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold,(Oral traditions of the rabbis) as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
Mark 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Yashua, Why walk not Your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
Mark 7:6 Yashua answered and said unto them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.
Mark 7:7 How be it in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
