John Chrysostom, on Matt 23:23

John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Matt 23:23 · Douay-Rheims
“Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law; judgment, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to leave those undone.”
On this verse:
“The Lord had said above that they bound heavy burdens upon others, which they themselves would not touch; He now again shews how they aimed at being correct in little things, but neglected weighty matters.”
