河西的官员们——河西总督达乃、示他·波斯乃及其同僚上奏大流士王，

“虚伪的律法教师和法利赛人啊，你们有祸了！因为你们当着人们的面关闭天国之门，自己不进去，也不让别人进去。

有法利赛人和一些律法教师从耶路撒冷来见耶稣。他们看到祂的门徒有些吃饭前没有照礼仪洗手。因为法利赛人和所有的犹太人都拘守祖先的传统，总是先照礼仪洗手之后才吃饭；从市场回来也要先洁净自己，然后才吃饭。他们还拘守许多其他规矩，如洗杯、罐、铜器等。他们质问耶稣：“为什么你的门徒违背祖先的传统，竟用不洁净的手吃饭呢？”耶稣回答说：“以赛亚先知针对你们这些伪君子所说的预言一点不错，正如圣经上说，“‘这些人嘴上尊崇我，心却远离我。他们的教导无非是人的规条，他们敬拜我也是枉然。’你们只知拘守人的传统，却无视上帝的诫命。”耶稣又对他们说：“你们为了拘守自己的传统，竟巧妙地废除了上帝的诫命。摩西说，‘要孝敬父母’，又说，‘咒骂父母的，必被处死。’你们却认为人若对父母说，‘我把供养你们的钱财已经全部奉献给上帝了’，他就可以不奉养父母。你们就是这样为了拘守传统而废除上帝的道，类似的情形还有很多。”

“律法教师和法利赛人坐在摩西的位子上讲授律法。

这以斯拉是位律法教师，精通以色列的上帝耶和华赐下的摩西律法。他的上帝耶和华帮助他，使王批准他的一切要求。
