Matthew 23:23
_ _ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise — rather, “dill,” as in Margin.
_ _ and cummin — In Luke (Luke 11:42) it is “and rue, and all manner of herbs.” They grounded this practice on Leviticus 27:30, which they interpreted rigidly. Our Lord purposely names the most trifling products of the earth as examples of what they punctiliously exacted the tenth of.
_ _ and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith — In Luke (Luke 11:42) it is “judgment, mercy, and the love of God” — the expression being probably varied by our Lord Himself on the two different occasions. In both His reference is to Micah 6:6-8, where the prophet makes all acceptable religion to consist of three elements — “doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with our God”; which third element presupposes and comprehends both the “faith” of Matthew and the “love” of Luke. See on Mark 12:29; see on Mark 12:32, Mark 12:33. The same tendency to merge greater duties in less besets even the children of God; but it is the characteristic of hypocrites.
_ _ these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone — There is no need for one set of duties to jostle out another; but it is to be carefully noted that of the greater duties our Lord says, “Ye ought to have done” them, while of the lesser He merely says, “Ye ought not to leave them undone.” |
Matthew 23:23
Judgment — That is, justice: Faith — The word here means fidelity. |
Matthew 23:23
(7) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and (t) faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
(7) Hypocrites take special care in small matters, and neglect the things which matter the very most.
(t) Faithfulness in the keeping of promises. |

Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ... On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.
Proverbs 21:3 To do justice and judgment [is] more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Jeremiah 22:15-16 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest [thyself] in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, [and] then [it was] well with him? ... He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was] well [with him: was] not this to know me? saith the LORD.
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
