“Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,”
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said. The hypocrite accusation and the fulfillment citation from Isaiah 29:13 are the climax of Jesus' response to the Jerusalem delegation. The Isaiah quotation identifies the Pharisees' practice as the fulfillment of the prophetic charge against Israel: worship with lips while the heart is far from God.
