But when some scribes of the Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they said to his disciples, "Is he eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"

Now the disciples of John and the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came to ask him, "How is it that the disciples of John and the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not?"

"Look," said the Pharisees to him, "Why are they doing on the Sabbath Day what is against the law?"

As soon as they came out, the Pharisees plotted against him with the Herodians, in order to destroy him.

One day the Pharisees came to him in a body with some Scribes who had come from Jerusalem.

For the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat until they have ceremoniously washed their hands in obedience to the tradition of the elders;

So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with 'common' unwashed hands?"

And the Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, by way of testing him.

So he gave them this warning. "Look out! Be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod."

Presently some Pharisees came up and tested him, by asking if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife.

But they sent some of the Pharisees to Jesus afterward, and some of the Herodians to entrap him in conversation.
