The Pharisees were the men who studied God’s law and then had the responsibility of teaching it to others. Jesus had even stronger words to speak against these would be teachers of the law. God holds those who teach to a higher standard. Here Jesus condemns the lawyers because they enjoyed their position of power and influence to the neglect of their responsibility to clearly teach God’s Word.
