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

"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}.

And it happened that when he came to the house of a certain one of the leaders of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat {a meal}, they were watching him closely.

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

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!
