How do we know Jesus condemns religious hypocrisy?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus condemns religious hypocrisy in Matthew 23 by instructing that true followers should serve God sincerely and not seek to impress others.

In Matthew 23, Jesus speaks directly to the religious authorities of His day, articulating His disdain for their hypocritical behaviors. They practiced their religiosity publicly, seeking recognition and praise from men rather than genuinely worshiping God. Jesus emphasizes that such actions lead to a hollow faith devoid of true obedience. He calls on His disciples to pursue humility and servitude as the marks of true greatness in the Kingdom of God. This message illustrates that the heart's posture, rather than mere observance of rituals, defines a true follower of Christ, which is echoed in His teachings on servitude in Matthew 23:11-12.
