I'm not really surprised about what Jesus said about the scribes and the Pharisees because, according to what the Bible relates through the four gospels, which give great indications of the social form in the time of Jesus, people like the scribes and the Pharisees sought to enrich themselves by promulgating the word of God and only pretending.
The Pharisees, as Matthew 23:23 says, did not act with justice or mercy, therefore, I consider that Jesus simply told them something that corresponded to the truth of his hearts.
Very surely today people make mistakes, sometimes we are unjust, some other people are unfaithful or hypocritical, but perhaps what differentiates a current person from the Pharisees is that he does not regularly enact good works pretending to be holy (in most cases cases), but <u><em>we are aware that, as sinful people, we must consider our actions and expect to improve day after day</em></u>.
Personally, I seek the glory of God, because he is the one who has given us all the blessings that we currently enjoy and who protects us at all times, I feel protected knowing that God approves my way of acting.
