In my study of this passage, I came across this quote by Stanley Hauerwas:

In my study of this passage, I came across this quote by Stanley Hauerwas:
"We should remember that hypocrisy is morally ambiguous. The hypocrite at least keeps alive what they and we should be. Indeed, hypocrisy can be considered a moral achievement because hypocrites are just truthful enough to have the resources to condemn themselves."
Now what do you think of that?
