Why did Jesus get so angry with the Pharisees for being blind spiritually ?

Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Proverbs 28:23
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

That is so true Joel.....it can also be said that as humans we are so scared not to speak out for fear of hurting someones feelings, but in fact, doing more damage for not correcting or rebuking them.

They were blind spiritually , and in fact blind guides He called them. He was harsh with them. We don't get that way with those that can't see ( in the church ) so why did Jesus ? It wasn't given to them to know. He came off very strong but then on the cross He said " Father forgive them for they know not what they do. "

How else would we know who the hypocrites are if Jesus didn't point them out for us?

True. And how would we know what hypocricy is in us if He didn't point it out in others.
"When YOU _______, don't do as the hypocrites do." = "Come out of her, my people." Jesus said them both.
We won't stop doing as the hypocrites did, unless we've done what the hypocrites do. We won't come out of her, unless we've been in her.
