In the Chosen, Christ only says around three woes within the Temple, but in real life in the Holy Bible, he really said eight woes in the Temple, right to the priests' faces, so it was much more intense. It's now time to get into what Christ is teaching to us, even while pronouncing woes unto the Pharisees.

1. "Woe to you . . . for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in." The Pharisees are the religious leaders of the Jews at the time of Christ. Being the religious leaders of the time, they held tremendous power and influence over the Jewish Nation. The Pharisees Jesus pronounces the woes upon are those who, in the leadership position, do not love God, and actively show it, and so by their example, they lead others astray. The teaching here is that those in leadership positions, especially those in the Holy Church, must remain fully loving to God, or else they would risk leading others away from God. For leaders are held to a higher standard, and are expected to serve the Lord willingly, faithfully, and lovingly.
2. "Woe to you . . . for you enter widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation." The Pharisees would cover up their unrighteous deeds with outward deeds of 'righteousness', as Christ cites one such act right here. This type of behavior is pure evil and is strictly forbidden for those in Christ. The teaching here is simply to not imitate the Pharisees in this way.
3. Woe to you . . . for you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much of a child of hell as yourselves." Christ does not condemn evangelization here, but the product of evangelization as executed by the Pharisees here. Evangelization is supposed to bring people to the intimate love of God, and to bring people to have faith in God, and to have communion with God. What the Pharisees did was taught their proselytes (converts) all their own interpretations of the Law of Moses, their rigid human traditions, and all the legalism associated with their own understanding of the Holy Scriptures, and not the true meaning of it. So thus these converts think they know God, but in reality just know what the Pharisees think about the Holy Scriptures, and do not come to fully understand the actual meaning of it. The teaching here is when you tell someone about Christ, do it with a good and pure purpose to bring them into the love of God, and teach them the true meaning of Holy Scripture. Do not be like the Pharisees who did it to look righteous.
4. "Woe to you . . . who say 'Whoever swears by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it." The main thing here is deceptiveness, dishonesty, and cheating other people out. Christ strongly condemns this type of behavior as seen in the Pharisees. The teaching here is simply to just be honest in everything. "Let you yes mean yes and your no mean no. Anything more than this comes from the evil one."
5. "Woe to you . . . for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith." Christ pronounced this woe on the Pharisees, because they practiced the traditions associated with the meaning of the law, but they forgot the meaning of the law. Thus, they outwardly appear righteous, practicing the tradition, but they do not practice what God actually wants. The teaching here is we must keep practicing and doing what is pleasing to God, for when we do, the tradition associated with God's teaching becomes much more meaningful and richer. We also grow more closer and more in union with God, which is an extremely wonderful gift. Do not forget the meaning of Holy Scripture, and especially do not forget to put it into practice.
6. "Woe to you . . . for you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dush, that the outside of them may be clean also." This is simply Christ telling the Pharisees with a woe that they need to clean their insides (mind, heart, and soul), and then they can be truly clean. The Pharisees outwardly looked pious and righteous, but inside were no better than thieves and murderers. The teaching here is that we must also cleanse our insides, so that when we do take care of our insides, we can have the capacity to become Christ-like, which is absolutely wonderful.
7. "Woe to you . . . for you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." The meaning is the same as the last woe, but with a different image. The process of whitewashing was to make graves appear as white as possible, therefore making it look extremely clean on the outside. The Pharisees Jesus condemns are no different: they tried so hard to look clean and holy, but to no avail, for inside they had the heart of a habitual sinner and an earthly mind. The teaching here is that we must be as pious (loving to God) and faithful on the inside, as we do appear on the outside.
8. "Woe to you . . . for you build the tombs of the Prophets . . . and say 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets." The final woe is the ultimate and defining trait of the Pharisees: their hypocrisy. They say one thing, but through their actions do the complete opposite of what they say. In the example Christ says here, they honor the Prophets and give them the upmost respect, but through their actions which they did on Jesus, they show that their intentions are the complete opposite of what they said, making them dishonest, liars, cheats, and betrayers of God's love and faithfulness. The teaching here by Christ is to not be hypocritical like the Pharisees here, but to demonstrate complete honesty, impartiality, and unite what you say, your good intentions, with your action.
