Mat 23:13.-ψευδοπροφητῶν, false prophets) whose teaching is different from that of true prophets. See ch. Mat 5:17. [comp. Mat 7:12. He who works iniquity, however he may prophesy in the name of Christ (Mat 7:22), is nevertheless a false prophet. In our day, they who delight in casting against others the taunt of being Pharisees and false prophets, are themselves that which they lay to the charge of others.-V. g.]-ἐνδύμασι προβάτων, in sheep’s clothing) i.e. in such clothing as they would wear if they were sheep.
