but when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadduces come to his baptism, he said to them, "Ye brood of vipers, who has warned you to fly from the wrath to come?

for I declare to you, that except your righteousness shall exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the heavenly kingdom.

which the Pharisees observing, why, said they to his disciples, is your master so familiar with publicans and such loose people?

Then John's disciples came to him and said, why do the Pharisees, as well as we, observe so many fasts, and your disciples keep none?

but the Pharisees said, he casteth out devils by the authority of the prince of the devils.

the Pharisees seeing that, said to him, see, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the sabbath-day.

Upon this the Pharisees went out of the synagogue, and form'd a conspiracy against his life.

but the Pharisees upon hearing this said, he exorcizes devils, by virtue only of Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Then certain of the Scribes and of the Pharisees said, master, we should be glad you would shew us some miracle.

Then the Scribes and Pharisees, who were of Jerusalem, came to him and said,

Thereupon his disciples drawing nigh, said, did you observe, how the Pharisees were scandalized at your discourse?

Then the Pharisees and the Sadducees came, with a captious design, and desired him to show them some miracle in the sky.

and Jesus said to them, have a care of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees.

why, can't you perceive, that in cautioning you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees, I did not speak of bread?

The Pharisees likewise came to him, and maliciously propos'd this question, may a man lawfully put away his wife at discretion?

When the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he meant them.

Upon this the Pharisees withdrew, and consulted how they might insnare him in his discourse.

but the Pharisees hearing that he had dumb-founded the Sadducees, they met together in council.

While the Pharisees were still assembled, Jesus asked them,

said, the Scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses's chair.

Wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, who prey upon the estates of widows, under the pretext of making long prayers; therefore ye shall be punish'd with the greater severity.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, who shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye not only refuse to go in your selves, but hinder those that would.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, who ransack sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is gain'd, ye make him deserve Gehenna much more than your selves.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, who pay tithe of mint, anise, and cummin, but neglect those more important matters of the law, justice, mercy, and fidelity: these were the things ye ought to have practis'd, without neglecting however the other matters.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for ye clean the outside of the cup, and of the plate, but within they are full of rapine and impurity.

thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and plate, that the outside may be likewise clean.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for ye are like whited sepulchres, which to outward appearance are fine. but within are full of dead mens bones, and all sort of filth.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the just,

Now the next day after the preparation of the sabbath, the chief priests and Pharisees went together to Pilate,

when the Scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with such a crew, they ask'd his disciples, what's the meaning that he is so familiar with people of such a wretched character?

It was customary for the Pharisees, and the disciples of John, to fast; they came therefore and ask'd him, why do John's disciples, and the Pharisees fast so frequently, and not your disciples?

upon which the Pharisees said to him, pray observe how they trespass on the sabbath-day.

the Pharisees watched Jesus, to see if he would heal him on the sabbath-day, that so they might accuse him.

upon this the Pharisees withdrew, and immediately enter'd into a conspiracy with the Herodians to take away his life.

The Pharisees, and certain Scribes from Jerusalem, came in a body to Jesus;

for the Pharisees, and the Jews in general, in pursuance of their antient traditions, never eat till they have wash'd their hands up to their elbows.

the Pharisees, and Scribes therefore ask'd Jesus, why don't your disciples observe the tradition of the antients? why do they take their meals without washing their hands?

there the Pharisees being come, they began to dispute with him, and to try him, desir'd he would work some miracle in the sky.

as he was then directing them diligently to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,

When he was come to the other disciples, he found a great crowd about them, and the Pharisees disputing with them.

then the Pharisees came and propos'd to him this insnaring question, is it lawful for a man to repudiate his wife?

the Scribes and Pharisees upon hearing this consulted together how to destroy him; but they stood in awe of him, because all the people were strangely affected with his doctrine.

Then they sent some of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians to insnare him in his discourse.

At another time, as he was teaching, it happened that some Pharisees, and doctors of the law were sitting by, who came from the several towns of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem: when the power of the Lord appear'd in their relief.

upon which the Scribes and Pharisees objected among themselves, saying, what a man is this to blaspheme thus? who can forgive sins but God alone?

but the Scribes and Pharisees of that place reproach'd his disciples, and said, why do ye eat and drink with publicans and scandalous people?

and likewise those of the Pharisees, are frequently fasting and praying, while yours are employed in eating and drinking?

upon which some of the Pharisees said to them, why do you do what is not allowed to be done on the sabbath-day?

now the Scribes and Pharisees were upon the watch to see if he would work a cure upon the sabbath-day, and so have matter of accusation against him.

but the Pharisees and the doctors of the law rejected the divine offers made to them, refusing to be baptized by John.

Jesus being invited to dinner at a certain Pharisee's house, he went home with him, and sat down to table.

when a woman of that city, one that had led a loose life, knowing that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house, came in with a vial of odoriferous liquor,

which the Pharisee, who had invited him, observing, he thus argued with himself, if this man were a prophet, he could not but know that the woman, who is so busy with him, is a person of a loose character.

While he was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to dine his house, where he went, and sat down at table.

but the Pharisee was surprized to see that he did not wash before dinner.

upon which the Lord said to him, you Pharisees won't leave any filth upon the outside of a cup or a platter: while your consciences are abandon'd to rapine, and sensuality.

but wo unto you Pharisees: for you will pay the tythes of mint, and rue, and all sorts of herbs, but as for justice and true piety, those you neglect. these you ought to have practised, without omitting however the other.

wo unto you Pharisees, for you affect to have the first rank in the synagogue, and to be complimented in publick places.

As he was pursuing his discourse, the Scribes and Pharisees passionately urg'd him with many captious questions, in order to ensnare him,

In the mean time thousands of people being gather'd about him, so as to trample upon one another, he first address'd himself thus to his disciples, beware of the corrupt doctrine of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

At the same time, some of the Pharisees came to him, and said, get away, retire from hence, for Herod designs to take away your life.

One sabbath-day, Jesus went to dine with a Pharisee of the first distinction, where he was strictly observ'd.

Jesus therefore addressing himself to the doctors of the law, and to the Pharisees, said, is it allowable to perform a cure on the sabbath-day? to which they made no answer.

Then he said to the Pharisee, that had invited him, when you give a dinner, or a supper, don't call your friends, or your brethren, or kinsmen, or wealthy neighbours; lest they invite you again, and make you a requital.

at which the Pharisees and Scribes murmured, saying, this man gives access to men of bad character, and eats with them.

The Pharisees too, who were noted for avarice, heard all this discourse, and treated him with derision.

Upon the Pharisees asking him, when the kingdom of God should come, he answer'd them, the kingdom of God is not usher'd in with pomp and exclamations,

two men went to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a Publican.

the Pharisee in a standing posture pray'd thus by himself, O God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men, a robber, a cheat, an adulterer, or like that Publican.

upon this some of the Pharisees, who were in the crowd, said to him, master, rebuke your disciples.

Afterwards some of the Pharisees, who deny there is any resurrection, accosted him with this question,

Now the messengers were of the sect of the Pharisees, and they asked him,

Now one of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, was there, a ruler of the Jews:

Jesus therefore knowing the Pharisees had heard that he made more disciples, and baptized more than John,

(the Pharisees being inform'd what the people rumour'd concerning him, they and the chief priests sent their officers to seize him.)

when the officers return'd to the chief priests and Pharisees, they asked them, why have ye not brought him?

upon which the Pharisees answered, are ye also seduced?

have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?

then the Scribes and Pharisees brought a woman surprized in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle of the assembly,

the Pharisees therefore said to him, you give a testimony of your self, your testimony is not valid.

This very man that had been blind, was at length brought to the Pharisees.

the Pharisees therefore ask'd him likewise, how he had received his sight. he told them, he put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and now see.

thereupon some of the Pharisees said, this man has no divine mission, because he does not observe the sabbath. but said others, if he be an impostor, how can he do such miracles? and there was a schism among them.

some of the Pharisees who were then present hearing this, said to him, are we likewise blind?

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

upon this the chief priests and the Pharisees being assembled in council, said, what shall we do? for this man performs many miracles.

now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had publish'd an order, that if any man knew where he was, he should give information in order to have him seized.

the Pharisees therefore said among themselves, don't you perceive we lose ground? you see what a world of followers attend him.

nevertheless there were many even among the chief rulers, who believed on him; but they did not own it publickly for fear the Pharisees should excommunicate them.

Judas then having got a company of soldiers, and officers, by order of the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, torches, and with arms.

when a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of law, who was respected by all the people, rose up in the council, and moved the apostles might withdraw for some time.

but some of the sect of the Pharisees who had embraced the faith, started up, pretending that the Gentiles ought to be circumcised, and observe the law of Moses.

But as Paul knew that one part of the Sanhedrim were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out, my brethren, "I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee, and I am now prosecuted for believing the resurrection of the dead."

at these words the Pharisees and the Sadducees were all in confusion, the whole assembly being divided:

for the Sadducees maintain, there is neither resurrection, nor angel, or spirit, whereas the Pharisees acknowledge both: the clamour was great,

and the Scribes taking part with the Pharisees, grew warm in the debate, and said, "we find no harm in this man; perhaps a spirit or an angel has spoke to him."

they can testify, if they will, that I early profess'd myself a Pharisee, a member of the most rigorous sect of our religion:

being circumcised the eighth day, of the family of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew by descent, by sect a Pharisee.
