Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
¡Ay de ustedes, maestros de la ley y fariseos hipócritas! Devoran las casas de las viudas y por las apariencias hacen largas oraciones. Por esto recibirán mayor condenación.
Los líderes religiosos que explotan a los vulnerables mientras fingen piedad recibirán un juicio más severo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, scribes and Pharisees were influential religious leaders in Jewish society who were expected to teach and uphold God's law. However, Jesus publicly criticized them for their hypocrisy, such as taking advantage of vulnerable widows by seizing their homes while using long prayers as a cover for their greed. This rebuke was part of Jesus' broader warnings in Matthew 23, delivered in Jerusalem shortly before His crucifixion, to expose the disconnect between their outward piety and actual behavior.
