But when he noticed a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who told you to flee from the coming Wrath?

For I tell you, unless your goodness excels that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the Realm of heaven.

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

Then the disciples of John came up to him and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast a great deal, and your disciples do not fast?"

[vs omitted but shown in footnote] But the Pharisees said, "He casts out daemons by the prince of daemons."

When the Pharisees noticed it, they said to him, "Look at your disciples, they are doing what is not allowed on the sabbath."

So the Pharisees withdrew and plotted against him, to destroy him;

But when the Pharisees heard of it they said, "This fellow only casts out daemons by Beelzebul the prince of daemons."

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we would like to have some Sign from you."

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

Then the disciples came up and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees have taken offence at what they hear you say?"

Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came up and, in order to tempt him, asked him to show them a Sign from heaven.

Jesus said to them, "See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Why do you not see that I was not speaking to you about bread? No, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Then they realized that what he told them to beware of was not leaven but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Then the Pharisees came up to tempt him. They asked, "Is it right to divorce one's wife for any reason?"

When the high priests and Pharisees heard these parables they knew he was speaking about them;

Then the Pharisees went and plotted to trap him in talk.

When the Pharisees heard he had silenced the Sadducees, they mustered their forces,

As the Pharisees had mustered, Jesus put a question to them.

"The scribes and Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses;

Woe to you, you impious scribes and Pharisees! you shut the Realm of heaven in men's faces; you neither enter yourselves, nor will you let those enter who are on the point of entering.

Woe to you, you impious scribes and Pharisees! you traverse sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when you succeed you make him a son of Gehenna twice as bad as yourselves.

Woe to you, you impious scribes and Pharisees! you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and omit the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faithfulness; these latter you ought to have practised ??without omit ting the former.

Woe to you, you irreligious scribes and Pharisees! you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are filled with your rapacity and self-indulgence.

Blind Pharisee! first clean the inside of the cup, so that the outside may be clean as well.

Woe to you, you irreligious scribes and Pharisees! you are like tombs white-washed; they look comely on the outside, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all manner of impurity.

Woe to you, you irreligious scribes and Pharisees! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the tombs of the just,

Next day (that is, on the day after the Preparation) the high priests and Pharisees gathered round Pilate

So when some scribes of the Pharisees saw he was eating with sinners and taxgatherers they said to his disciples, "Why does he eat and drink with taxgatherers and sinners?"

As the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were observing a fast, people came and asked him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and your disciples do not fast?"

The Pharisees said to him, "Look at what they are doing on the sabbath! That is not allowed."

On this the Pharisees withdrew and at once joined the Herodians in a plot against him, to destroy him.

Now the Pharisees gathered to meet him, with some scribes who had come from Jerusalem.

(The Pharisees and all the Jews decline to eat till they wash their hands up to the wrist, in obedience to the tradition of the elders;

Then the Pharisees and scribes put this question to him, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders? Why do they take their food with 'common' hands?"

Now the Pharisees came out and started to argue with him, asking him for a Sign from heaven, by way of tempting him.

So he cautioned them, "See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

So they put this question to him, "Why do the [Pharisees and] scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

Now some Pharisees came up and asked him if a man was allowed to divorce his wife. This was to tempt him.

But they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to him for the purpose of catching him with a question.

One day he was teaching, and near him sat Pharisees and doctors of the Law who had come from every village of Galilee and Judaea as well as from Jerusalem. Now the power of the Lord was present for the work of healing.

Then the scribes and Pharisees began to argue, "Who is this blasphemer? Who can forgive sins, who but God alone?"

But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with taxgatherers and sinners?"

They said to him, "The disciples of John fast frequently and offer prayers, as do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your adherents eat and drink."

Some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not allowed on the sabbath?"

and the scribes and Pharisees watched to see if he would heal on the sabbath, so as to discover some charge against him.

but the Pharisees and jurists, who had refused his baptism, frustrated God's purpose for themselves.)

One of the Pharisees asked him to dinner, and entering the house of the Pharisee he reclined at table.

Now there was a woman in the town who was a sinner, and when she found out that Jesus was at table in the house of the Pharisee, she brought an alabaster flask of perfume

When his host the Pharisee noticed this, he said to himself, "If he was a prophet he would know what sort of a woman this is who is touching him; for she is a sinner."

When he finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to take a meal in his house; so he went in and lay down at table.

The Pharisee was astonished to see that he had not washed before the meal,

but the Lord said to him, "You Pharisees do clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but your inner life is filled with rapacity and malice.

But woe to you Pharisees! you tithe mint and rue and every vegetable, but justice and the love of God you disregard; these latter you ought to have practised ??without omitting the former.

Woe to you Pharisees! you love the front bench in the synagogues and salutations in the marketplaces.

After he had gone away, the scribes and Pharisees commenced to follow him up closely and cross-question him on many points,

Meanwhile as the crowd was gathering in its thousands till they trod on one another, he proceeded to say to his disciples first of all, "Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy,

Just then some Pharisees came up to tell him, "Get away from here, for Herod intends to kill you."

Now when he entered the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees to take a meal, they watched him closely.

so Jesus asked the jurists and Pharisees, "Is it right to heal on the sabbath or not?"

but the Pharisees and the scribes complained, "He welcomes sinners and eats along with them!"

Now the Pharisees who were fond of money heard all this, and they sneered at him.

On being asked by the Pharisees when the Reign of God was coming, he answered them, "The Reign of God is not coming as you hope to catch sight of it;

"Two men went up to pray in the temple; one was a Pharisee and the other was a taxgatherer.

The Pharisee stood up and prayed by himself as follows; 'I thank thee, O God, I am not like the rest of men, thieves, rogues, and immoral, or even like yon taxgatherer.

Some Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Check your disciples, teacher."

Now it was some of the Pharisees who had been sent to him;

Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who belonged to the Jewish authorities;

Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees had heard of Jesus gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

The Pharisees heard the people discussing Jesus in this way, so the high priests and the Pharisees despatched attendants to arrest him.

Then the attendants went back to the high priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him with you?"

The Pharisees retorted, "Are you misled as well?

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

The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of committing adultery, and making her stand forward

So the Pharisees said to him, "You are testifying to yourself; your evidence is not valid."

They brought him before the Pharisees, this man who had once been blind.

So the Pharisees asked him again how he had regained his sight, and he told them, "He smeared some clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now I can see."

Then said some of the Pharisees, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath"; others said, "How can a sinner perform such Signs?" They were divided on this.

On hearing this the Pharisees who were beside him asked, "And are we blind?"

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

whereupon the high priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "Whatever is to be done?" they said. "The fellow is performing a number of Signs.

(The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that they were to be informed, if anyone found out where he was, so that they might arrest him.)

Then said the Pharisees to one another, "You see, you can do nothing! Look, the world has gone after him."

Still, a number even of the authorities believed in him, though they would not confess it on account of the Pharisees, in case of being excommunicated;

So after procuring troops and some attendants belonging to the high priests and the Pharisees, Judas went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

But a Pharisee in the Sanhedrin called Gamaliel, a doctor of the Law who was highly respected by all the people, got up and ordered the apostles to be removed for a few moments.

Then, finding half the Sanhedrin were Sadducees and the other half Pharisees, Paul shouted to them, "I am a Pharisee, brothers, the son of Pharisees! It is for the hope of the resurrection from the dead that I am on trial!"

When he said this, a quarrel broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; the meeting was divided.

For while the Sadducees declare there is no such thing as resurrection, angels, or spirits, the Pharisees affirm them all.

They know me of old. They know, if they chose to admit it, that as a Pharisee I lived by the principles of the strictest party in our religion.

I was circumcised on the eighth day after birth; I belonged to the race of Israel, to the tribe of Benjamin; I was the Hebrew son of Hebrew parents, a Pharisee as regards the Law,
