One of the Pharisees asked him to have dinner with him, and he went to the Pharisee's house and took his place at the table.

Now there was a woman in the town who was leading a sinful life, and when she learned that he was having dinner at the Pharisee's house, she got an alabaster flask of perfume,

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet, he would know who and what the woman is who is touching him, for she leads a wicked life."

When he said this, a Pharisee asked him to lunch with him, and he went to his house and took his place at table.

The Pharisee noticed that he did not wash before the meal, and he was surprised.

One Sabbath, when he went to take a meal at the house of a member of the council who was a Pharisee, they were watching him closely.

"Two men went up to the Temple to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other a tax-collector.

The Pharisee stood up and uttered this prayer to himself: 'O God, I thank you that I am not like other men, greedy, dishonest, or adulterous, like that tax-collector.

They said to him, "John's disciples observe frequent fasts and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but your disciples eat and drink."

but the Pharisees and experts in the Law thwarted God's purpose for themselves, by refusing to be baptized by him.
