Just a few quick thoughts on these two chapters:
Matthew 22:1-14 I was actually a little confused about this so if any one can explain that I would love to hear your thoughts!
In this chapter I also found it interesting that every time the Pharisees tried to "trap him in his words" Jesus always had an answer for them that was indisputable.
Matthew 23 is a pretty harsh chapter against the Pharisees. What sticks out to me the most though is when he says in verse 3 "you must obey them(meaning the Pharisees)... But do not do what they do". Obeying authority is important but if they are not believers in Christ then we shouldn't always follow their example or "do what they do" if they are sinning. I hope that makes sense.

Hi Aubrey! I'm not sure if I understood this one completely either... I think it might have something to do with the fact that the Pharisees were telling people to do one thing but they themselves weren't doing that. So I think Jesus might have been saying obey them and do the right thing but don't live like them, because they weren't doing the right thing? I don't know if that makes sense or even answers your question haha.. but I hope it does!
