Pharisees and Scribes

"Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written" 
Yet the Pharisees were not at all shy in so being very smitten
As they had absolutely no clue as to whom had just spoke
It was our Lord and Savior and yet still nothing inside awoke

They pursued Him upon His way testing Him time and time again
Oh the words that Jesus would say surely the King of all men
For even the devil himself had tried in trying three times in fact
So poignantly had he lied for in the Word you shall never lack

"You keep your own tradition yet reject all God's Commandments"
Sometimes it may be repetition that's the cause to whom repents 
Not coming from within but coming from God's own given Word 
All of mankind is so full of sin thus Heaven without Jesus is absurd

Miracles too numerous to repeat, crowds as far as the eye can see
To the Father He is Seated to the Right is perfectly obvious to me
If you are of that Pharisee mindset and so stubborn in your ways
Then there shall be nothing you get at the end of such futile days

Matthew 16:26	 
 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
 and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
