But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, "You offspring 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, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

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

Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast?"

But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons."

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

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

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."

Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, "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?"

The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

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

How is it that you don't perceive that I didn't speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Then they understood that he didn't tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?"

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

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

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

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses' seat.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don't enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna as yourselves.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.

You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.

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

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

Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,

Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't fast?"

The Pharisees said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"

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

Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don't eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"

The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.

He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."

Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.

The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"

Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"

They said to him, "Why do John's disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?"

But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?"

The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table.

Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner."

Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.

When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don't know it."

As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;

Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."

It happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"

The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God doesn't come with observation;

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

The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

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

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

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also led astray, are you?

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

The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,

The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."

They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"

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

The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."

Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess it, so that they wouldn't be put out of the synagogue,

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

But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."

But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"

When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, "We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let's not fight against God!"

having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
