Jesus was uncompromising in His stand. Later
when He went to Jerusalem, His enemies accused
Him saying, "This man receiveth sinners and
eateth with them," Jesus showed the Father's
love toward repenting sinners with the parables:
of the Lost Sheep, of the Piece of Money, and the
Prodigal Son.

The sad fact was that the religion of the Pharisees
was a hollow imitation.
