This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That justify yourselves (hoi dikaiountes heautous). They were past-masters at that and were doing it now by upturned noses.
An abomination in the sight of God (bdelugma enò„pion tou theou). See note on Mat 24:15 and note on Mar 13:14 for this lxx word for a detestable thing as when Antiochus Epiphanes set up an altar to Zeus in place of that to Jehovah. There is withering scorn in the use of this phrase by Jesus to these pious pretenders.
