MSS - Matthew 23 - Woe to you Pharisees, hypocrites!

Too often we see the Pharisees as the ultimate bad guys - and completely miss that they represented the righteous ones in Judea during the 1st century.  Yet, despite their "righteousness", they fell short of the kingdom of heaven.  Why?  Yeshua spells it out rather succinctly in this 23rd chpater of Matthew.
