Now one of the Pharisees invited Him to take dinner with him. So He came to the Pharisee's house and took His place at the table.

There was a woman in the town who was a social outcast, and when she learned that He was taking dinner at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster bottle of perfume

So when the Pharisee who invited Him saw it, he said to himself, "If He were really a prophet, He would know who and of what character the woman is who is clinging to Him -- that she is a social outcast."

When He had said this, a Pharisee asked Him to lunch at his house, and He went in and took His place at table.

The Pharisee noticed that He did not first wash before lunch, and was surprised.

One Sabbath, when He went to take a meal at the house of a Pharisee who was a member of the council, they continued to watch Him closely.

"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax-collector.

The Pharisee stood and said this self-centered prayer, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men, robbers, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax-collector.

After that they said to Him, "John's disciples rigidly practice fasting and offering up prayers; so do the Pharisees, but your disciples keep right on eating and drinking."

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