"Do not follow their example for the preach, but do not practice." Jesus says in today's Gospel. People can be such hypocrites. The Pharisees and scribes are not exception. We use the idiom, 'Practice what you preach.' Obviously we as a people in general don't like people who make themselves the exception to the rule.
Jesus is really calling to be aware of our actions and words. Perhaps it is good to put on a persona of greatness in some aspects of our lives for business, but you know what, Jesus is reminding to live in reality and remember that we're just human: we all put our pants on the same way, one leg at a time.
