Commentary on Matthew 15:7
Jesus' designation 'hypocrites' (Greek 'hypokritai'—actors, pretenders) is devastating. Their outward religious performance masked inward rebellion against God's Word. The term connects to Isaiah's prophecy, showing this isn't a new problem but Israel's recurring sin. Reformed doctrine emphasizes that external religiosity without heart transformation is worthless before God. True worship requires regeneration, not mere ritual conformity. The Pharisees exemplify dead orthodoxy—correct external forms with unregenerate hearts.
