One day as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal.

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

And the Pharisees and their scribes complained against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

They said to him, "The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.

But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went to the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.

And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that Jesus was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of perfume,

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner."

While he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in and sat at table.

The Pharisee was surprised to see that he did not first wash before dinner.

But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.

As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things,

In the meantime, when so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they trampled one another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

At that very time some Pharisees came, and said to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you."

One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they watched him.

And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"

And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they scoffed at him.

Now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

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

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other menextortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
