I really like the alliteration of...
Moses-mimes and mandate-makers
As well as...
Earlier in the latter chapter, Jesus mocked the rigid religious leaders with these words (aptly paraphrased in the Living Bible) ? ?You would think these Jewish leaders and these Pharisees were Moses, the way they keep making up so many laws! And of course you should obey their every whim!? (Matthew 23:2-3).
Which could be be construed as:
You would think these MORMON leaders and their circumcision group were Moses, the way they keep making up so many laws! And of course you should obey their every D&C!?
