And when the scribes who were of the Pharisees' party saw that he was eating with irreligious people and tax-collectors, they said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax-collectors and irreligious people?"

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast. And people came and asked him, "Why is it that when John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are keeping the fast, yours are not keeping it?"

And the Pharisees said to him, "Look! Why are they doing what it is against the law to do on the Sabbath?"

Then the Pharisees left the synagogue and immediately consulted with the Herodians about Jesus, with a view to putting him to death.

The Pharisees gathered about him with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem.

For the Pharisees and all the Jews observe the rules handed down from their ancestors, and will not eat until they have washed their hands in a particular way,

And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not observe the rules handed down by our ancestors, but eat food without purifying their hands?"

The Pharisees came out and began a discussion with him, testing him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

And he warned them, saying, "Look out! Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!"

Some Pharisees came up, and in order to test him asked him whether a man should be allowed to divorce his wife.

They sent some Pharisees and Herodians to him to entrap him in argument.
