And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He was teaching; and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present with Him to heal.

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is This that is speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God only?"

And the Pharisees and their scribes were murmuring against the disciples, saying, "Why are ye eating and drinking with the tax-collectors and sinners?"

And they said to Him, "The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also those of the Pharisees; but Thine are eating and drinking!"

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are ye doing that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath?"

And the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him, whether He would heal on the sabbath: that they might find how to accuse Him.

But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God as to themselves, not having been immersed by him.

And one of the Pharisees was asking Him to eat with him; and, having entered into the Pharisee's house, He reclined at table.

And, behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and, learning that He was reclining at table in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster cruse of perfume;

Now, as He spake, a Pharisee asks Him to dine with him; and, entering, He reclined at table.

And the Pharisee, seeing it, marvelled that He was not first immersed before breakfast.

"But woe to you Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb; but ye pass by judgment and the love of God. Now these things it was needful to do, and not to leave those undone.

"Woe to you Pharisees! because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces!

And, when He went forth thence, the scribes and Pharisees began vehemently to press upon Him, and to urge Him to speak concerning many things;

In the meantime, the vast multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread one upon another, He began to say to His disciples, first, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

In that very hour, there came certain Pharisees, saying to Him, "Go out, and journey hence; because Herod is wishing to kill Thee."

And it came to pass, 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.

And, answering, Jesus spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful on the sabbath to heal or not?"

And both the scribes and the Pharisees were murmuring, saying, "This Man receiveth sinners and eateth with them!"
