In this chapter, self-righteous pharisees were dishonoring their parents, yet very particular about eating rituals! They were tithing of their wealth, yet they were not generous. They felt righteous before God, yet Jesus saw them as utterly sinful. Their religious pursuits defined "hypocrite" in Jesus' mind.
It makes me wonder what things I do in the name of religion that are dishonoring to God. Do I do things in His name that He would have nothing to do with? Am I more like the pharisees than I want to admit? Are you?
