It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.

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

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

They said to him, "The disciples of John often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."

But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"

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

But the Pharisees and the Law scholars rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table.

And suddenly, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner."

Now as he spoke, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.

When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

But woe to you Pharisees. For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

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

And when he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;

Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

In that same hour some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."

It happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

Jesus, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."

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

Being 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 into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
