But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

For I tell you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons."

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, "Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."

But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him, how they might destroy him.

But when the Pharisees heard this they said, "It is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons."

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."

Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus and said,

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

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

Then Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees."

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

Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk.

But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

"The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither enter yourselves, nor do you allow those who would enter to go in.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win a single proselyte, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the Law, justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.

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

Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which outwardly appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

The next day, the one after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered to Pilate

And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered together to him,

(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.

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

The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.

And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

The Pharisees came and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

Then they sent to him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

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."

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

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

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to arrest him.

The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

The Pharisees answered them, "Are you deceived, you also?

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?

Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,

The Pharisees then said to him, "You are bearing witness of yourself; your testimony is not true."

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

Then some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this, and said to him, "Are we blind also?"

But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, so that they might arrest him.

The Pharisees then said to one another, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, The world has gone after him!"

Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

So Judas, having received a detachment of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honor by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a while.

But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up, and said, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the Law of Moses."

But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead I am on trial."

When he said this, a dissension broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

There occurred a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, "We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"

They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
