John:16:10 @{And ye behold me no more} (\kai ouketi thereite me\). With the bodily eyes and without the Holy Spirit they are unable to behold Jesus with the spiritual vision (14:19|). Without Christ they lose the sense of righteousness as is seen in the "new morals" (immorality, loose views of marriage, etc.).
rwp@Matthew:15:6 @{Ye have made void the word of God} (\ekursate ton logon tou theou\). It was a stinging indictment that laid bare the hollow pretence of their quibbles about handwashing. \Kuros\ means force or authority, \akuros\ is without authority, null and void. It is a late verb, \akuro\ but in the LXX, Gal strkjv@3:17|; and in the papyri Adjective, verb, and substantive occur in legal phraseology like cancelling a will, etc. The moral force of God's law is annulled by their hairsplitting technicalities and immoral conduct.
