Matt. 23:24• 24Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. (Matt. 23:24)
;
Luke 6:7‑9• 7And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
 8But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
 9Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? (Luke 6:7‑9)
;
John 18:28• 28Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. (John 18:28)
to put.
Deut. 23:18• 18Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the Lord thy God. (Deut. 23:18)
;
Isa. 61:8• 8For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. (Isa. 61:8)
because.The Jews considered it was strictly forbidden by the Divine law to bring any filthy or iniquitous gain into the temple. For this reason they now refused to allow this money to be placed in the chest in the temple, amongst the former contributions for its repairs.
In this, they were right enough, but by the very act of refusing this money, they proved themselves to be gross perverters of the spirit of God's requirements:
they saw not that it was much less lawful for them, who had hired Judas to this sordid action, to be employed in the service of the temple.
Those that "bear the vessels of the Lord," ought to be holy.
Thus our Lord's words, "Ye blind guides!
ye strain at a gnat and swallow a camel."
• Conscience would have told them that theirs was the guilt of bribing Judas to betray Jesus, but it had long been seared as with a hot iron, and now was utterly dead toward God, as it shows itself heartlessly cruel toward Judas. Religion without Christ only serves as the means to cheat the soul. (“Remarks on Matthew 27” by W. Kelly)
