And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his baptism, he said to them, 'Brood of vipers! who did shew you to flee from the coming wrath?

'For I say to you, that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens.

and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, 'Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'

Then come to him do the disciples of John, saying, 'Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not?'

but the Pharisees said, 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'

and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, 'Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.'

And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him,

but the Pharisees having heard, said, 'This one doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.'

Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, 'Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.'

Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem -- scribes and Pharisees -- saying,

Then his disciples having come near, said to him, 'Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'

And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven,

and Jesus said to them, 'Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'

how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread -- to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?'

Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And the Pharisees came near to him, tempting him, and saying to him, 'Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?'

And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard his similes, knew that of them he speaketh,

Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;

And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,

saying, 'On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;

'Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the reign of the heavens before men, for ye do not go in, nor those going in do ye suffer to enter.

'Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye eat up the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, because of this ye shall receive more abundant judgment.

Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye go round the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen -- ye make him a son of gehenna twofold more than yourselves.

Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law -- the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved you to do, and those not to neglect.

'Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of rapine and incontinence.

'Blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them also may become clean.

'Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye are like to whitewashed sepulchres, which outwardly indeed do appear beautiful, and within are full of bones of dead men, and of all uncleanness;

'Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,

And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, 'Why -- that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?'

And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, 'Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples do not fast?'

and the Pharisees said to him, 'Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?'

and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.

And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, 'Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'

and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;

and he was charging them, saying, 'Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'

And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,

and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse,

And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was -- to heal them.

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, 'Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?'

and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, 'Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?'

And they said unto him, 'Wherefore do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications -- in like manner also those of the Pharisees -- but thine do eat and drink?'

and certain of the Pharisees said to them, 'Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?'

and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him.

but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),

and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,

And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, 'This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind is the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'

And in his speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.

And the Lord said unto him, 'Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;

'But woe to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.

'Woe to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places.

'Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.'

And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,

At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, 'Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to him, 'Go forth, and be going on hence, for Herod doth wish to kill thee;'

And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him,

and Jesus answering spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, 'Is it lawful on the sabbath-day to heal?'

and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying -- This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'

And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, 'The reign of God doth not come with observation;

'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;

the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;'

And those sent were of the Pharisees,

And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,

When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, 'Wherefore did ye not bring him?'

The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, 'Have ye also been led astray?

did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'

They bring him to the Pharisees who once was blind,

Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, 'Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.'

Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, 'Are we also blind?'

but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him.

the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'

Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;

but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim -- a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people -- commanded to put the apostles forth a little,

and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying -- 'It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.'

and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, 'Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.'

And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,

for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.

And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part having arisen, were striving, saying, 'No evil do we find in this man; and if a spirit spake to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God;'

knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee;

circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!
