God is holy. What He says has always come true. God hates treacherous people, and love honest people. The Pharisees of the Age of Grace are hypocritical. They did not fear God in their heart, and beyond that they didn’t respect God above all others. They obviously knew the commandment that “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor”, but they disregard the commandments of God, publicly bearing false witness to convict and even kill the prophets and righteous people who were sent by God. They directly resist God. Through the Pharisee’s failure, we ought to be vigilant to avoid doing something which is an offense against the disposition of God. Also we should treat all the things carefully, especially for the Lord Jesus’ second coming. We shouldn’t give up the opportunity to gain the truth just for fearing of being deceived. Don’t listen to rumors without discernment so that we may not be cheated by the evil servant. Don’t be like the Jews, who were cheated by the Pharisees, did not accept and obey the Lord Jesus’ work and became eternal sinners for they crucified the Lord Jesus with the Pharisees. The following are some scriptures about not allowing to bear false witness:
Exodus 20:16
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Deuteronomy 19:18-19
And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother; Then shall you do to him, as he had thought to have done to his brother: so shall you put the evil away from among you.
Proverbs 12:17
He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
Proverbs 19:9
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.
Deuteronomy 5:20
Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbor.

Mark 10:19
You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor your father and mother.

A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 14:5
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
