Imagine you tell your friend you love them every day but never play with them or help them when they need it. That's kind of what Jesus is saying here; some people talk nicely to God, but they don’t really care about Him in their heart.

歴史的背景

The verse comes from the Gospel of Mark written around 65-70 AD, aimed at a general audience including both Jews and Gentiles. It reflects a time when religious practices were becoming more ritualistic than heartfelt, leading to hypocrisy.
