It was the lawyers, scribes, and Pharisees, who were the church leaders and the only ones to be referred to as hypocrites.

Lawyer = corrupt word = what’s heard

Scribes = corrupt works = what’s seen

Pharisees = corrupt spirit = what’s seen and heard in their high place

They spent their time in the synagogue. That’s sin-a-gog. Gog the one brought forth by Magog.
