Jesus consistently confronted the religious leaders about their hypocrisy. The word hypocrite describes a person who pretends to have virtues or qualities that he really doesn't really have. One time Jesus said to these leaders, "Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish but inside you are filthy-full of greed and self indulgence!...First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean too".
Matthew 23:25-26
