Jesus Rebukes The Pharisees: The Thing You Highly Value Is Worthless To God
14 Now the Pharisees, being money-lovers, were listening-to all these things, and they were sneering-at[a] Him. 15 And He said to them, “You are the ones declaring yourselves righteous in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts— because the highly-valued thing among people is an abomination[b] in the sight of God. 16 The Law and the Prophets were until John. From that time on, the kingdom of God is being announced-as-good-news, and everyone is forcing-himself [c] into it.
