Today jesus continues his criticism of the scribes and pharisees and scribes. He focuses on their neglect of mercy and justice which he regards as the "weighter matters of the law. "The essentials of religion are unseen to the eye and can only be truly known by the heart. The scribes and pharsees looked good outside, but on the inside they were full of contempt and dislike for their fellowmen and women whom they saw lesser than them in living the faith. They judge others as unworthy while regarding themselves as the only worthy people in the presence of God. They look good outside, but their interior lives were nonetheless corrupted by their disdain for others. But God is all in all. Our souls are restless untill they rest in God.(st. Augustine of Hippo)
