The herodians

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”

Immediately the Pharisees went out and started plotting with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

Then He commanded them: “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”

He said about his father and mother,
“I do not regard them.”
He disregarded his brothers
and didn’t acknowledge his sons,
for they kept Your word
and maintained Your covenant.

But Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, I will say whatever the Lord says to me.”

I will be partial to no one,
and I will not give anyone an undeserved title.

Listen to this, leaders of the house of Jacob,

who abhor justice

“So I in turn have made you despised and humiliated before all the people because you are not keeping My ways but are showing partiality in your instruction.”

When they came, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know You are truthful and defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality

but teach truthfully the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

but teach truthfully the way of God.

Now from those recognized as important (what they really were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism

)—they added nothing to me.

Instead, just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but rather God, who examines our hearts.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.
