He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with [their] lips, but their heart is far from me.
Note 6 at Mk. 7:6: This is the Bible definition of a hypocrite. It is someone whose words and heart (actions) don't agree. A hypocrite may act the part of a Christian or he may talk like Christ, but he won't do both. When both confession and action from the heart are consistent with God's Word, that equals salvation (Rom. 10:9-10).
