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 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 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,
