And one of the Pharisees asked him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.

And behold, a woman in the town who was a sinner, [when she] learned that he was dining in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of perfumed oil,

Then Jesus told a parable to those who had been invited [i.e., the dinner guests at the Pharisee's house. See verse 1], because He noticed how they were choosing places of honor [at the dinner table]. [So], He said to them,

Now the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this and told himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who is touching him and what kind of woman she is. She's a sinner!"

Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

And as he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him {to have a meal} with him, and he went in [and] reclined at table.

And the Pharisee, [when he] saw [it], was astonished that he did not first wash before the meal.

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

The Pharisee stood [and] prayed these [things] with reference to himself: 'God, I give thanks to you that I am not like other people--swindlers, unrighteous [people], adulterers, or even like this tax collector!

But a certain man stood up in the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee {named} Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people, [and] gave orders to put the men outside for a short time.

But when the Scribes of the Pharisee sect saw Him eating with the sinners and the tax-gatherers, they said to His disciples, "He is eating and drinking with the tax-gatherers and sinners!"

One day--it was a Sabbath--He was taking a meal at the house of one of the Rulers of the Pharisee party, while they were closely watching Him.

And, on the morrow, which is after the preparation, the High-priests and the Pharisee were gathered together unto Pilate,

I tell you that this man went down to his home justified rather than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Now a certain man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council,

Then one of the experts in the law of Moses [Note: Matt. 22:34 identifies him as being a Pharisee also], came and heard Jesus and the Sadducees discussing together [i.e., the subject of the resurrection], and knowing that Jesus had refuted the Sadducees successfully, asked Him, "Which commandment is foremost, above all the others?"

Then Jesus also said to the Pharisee who had invited Him [to dinner], "When you prepare a breakfast or a supper, do not invite your friends, or brothers, or relatives or rich neighbors [only], for maybe they will invite you back, and [then] you will be repaid [for your kindness].

[Now] Nicodemus (being a leading Pharisee, and the one who went to talk to Jesus one night), said to them,

A loud commotion developed [in the Council meeting]. Some of the teachers of the law of Moses who belonged to the Pharisee party stood up and argued, saying, "We can find nothing wrong with this man. What if an angel or spirit did speak to him?"

Then the disciples of John come to Him, saying, Wherefore do we and the Pharisee fast, but thy disciples do not fast?

but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.

"But woe unto you Pharisee! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and disregard justice and the love of God; but these you ought to have done, and not leave the other undone.

"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.

Meanwhile when myriads of the multitudes were thronging around him so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples, first of all. "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisee, which is hypocrisy.

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these [things] about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order {to take him into custody }.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear beautiful outwardly, but within are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

And it came to pass on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and out of Jerusalem; and the Lord's power was there to heal them.

Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.

But the Pharisees and expounders of the Law have frustrated God's purpose as to their own lives, by refusing to be baptized.

Again they said to Him, "John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink."

Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses's seat.

At that time, certain Pharisees came to him and said, Go away from this place, because Herod's purpose is to put you to death.

Then Jesus ordered them, saying, "Pay attention and watch out for the leavening [effect] of the Pharisees and Herod." [Note: By "Herod" is probably meant the Herodians, who were a party favorable to King Herod and, along with the Pharisees and Sadducees, were out to get Jesus. See Matt. 16:6].

And Jesus said to them [i.e., the Pharisees. See Matt. 22:41], "How is it that they [i.e., the experts in the law of Moses. See Mark 12:35] can say that the Christ [i.e., God's specially chosen one] is the son of David?

And Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of the (bread) of the Pharisees and Sadducees, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Alas for you, Teachers of the Law and Pharisees, hypocrites that you are! You destroy widow's houses, even while pretending to make long prayers; therefore you shall receive greater condemnation.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection; neither angel nor spirit: but the Pharisees acknowledge both. And there arose a great clamor. And the scribes, on the part of the Pharisees, arose and contended, saying:

But [when he] saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

For I say to you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And [when they] saw [it], the Pharisees began to say to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

But the Pharisees were saying, "By the ruler of demons he expels the demons!"

But [when] the Pharisees saw [it], they said to him, "Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!"

But the Pharisees went out {and plotted} against him in order that they could destroy him.

But the Pharisees, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!"

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you!"

Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

Then the disciples came [and] said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended [when they] heard this saying?"

And [when] the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test [him], they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

And Jesus said to them, "Watch out for and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"

How do you not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"

And [when] the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them,

Then the Pharisees went {and consulted} so that they could entrap him with a statement.

Now [when] the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same [place].

Now [while] the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you travel around the sea and the dry [land] to make one convert, and when he becomes [one], you make him twice as much a son of hell [as] you [are]!

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you pay a tenth of mint and dill and cumin, and neglect the more important [matters] of the law--justice and mercy and faithfulness! It was necessary to do these [things] {while not neglecting those}.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence!

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous,

And the Pharisees began to say to him, "Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?"

And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians {and began to conspire} against him with regard to how they could destroy him.

And the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered to him.

(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands {ritually}, [thus] holding fast to the traditions of the elders.

And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unclean hands?"

And the Pharisees came and began to argue with him, demanding from him a sign from heaven [in order to] test him.

And Pharisees coming to him asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? (tempting him).

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

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

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

So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closely [to see] if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find [a reason] to accuse him.

And Jesus answered [and] said to the legal experts and Pharisees, saying, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"

And both the Pharisees and the scribes were complaining, saying, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them!"

Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these [things], and they ridiculed him.

Now [when he] was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with {things that can be observed},

And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

(And they had been sent from the Pharisees.)

Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

Then the Pharisees replied to them, "You have not also been deceived, [have you]?

{None} of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, [have they]?

Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And standing her in [their] midst,

So the Pharisees said to him, "You testify concerning yourself! Your testimony is not true."

They brought him--the one formerly blind--to the Pharisees.

So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

So some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!" Others were saying, "How can a man [who is] a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

[Some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these [things] and said to him, "We are not also blind, [are we]?"

But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them [the things] which Jesus had done.

So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!

(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report [it], in order that they could arrest him.)

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing! Behold, the world has gone after him."

Yet despite that, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue.

So Judas, taking the cohort and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

But some of those who had believed from the party of the Pharisees stood up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them and to command [them] to observe the law of Moses!"
