Self-righteousness » Instances of » Pharisees
No one, having lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, nor under a bushel, but on a candlestick, in order that those coming in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye may be clear, truly thy whole body is lighted; but when it may be had, truly thy body is dark. See then that the light which is in thee is not darkness. read more.
If then thy whole body is lighted, having no part dark, all will be lighted, as when a lamp may light thee with its brightness. And while He was speaking, a Pharisee asked Him, that He would dine with him: and having come in, He sat up at the table. And the Pharisee seeing, was astonished because He was not first baptized before dinner. And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees purify the outside of the cup and the plate, but the interior is full of extortion and wickedness. Ye fools, did not the One having made the outside also make the inside? Therefore give alms of your substance; and behold all things are pure unto you. But woe unto you, Pharisees! because you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and you pass by judgment and the love of God: it behooveth to do these things, and not to omit those. Woe unto you, Pharisees! because you love the front seat in the synagogues, and salutations in the forums. Woe unto you! because you are like tombs unseen, and men walking over them do not know it. And a certain one of the theologians responding says to Him, Teacher, speaking these things yon indeed insult us. And He said, Woe unto you, theologians! because you lay burdens on the people difficult to be borne, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe unto you! because you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Therefore you are witnesses and you consent unto the works of your fathers: because they slew them, and you build. Therefore the wisdom of God said, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will slay and persecute. In order that the blood of all the prophets poured out from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation; from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation. Woe unto you, theologians! because you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not come in, and you prohibited those who were coming in. And He having come out from thence, the scribes and Pharisees began vehemently to press on Him, and mouth after Him concerning many things; laying in wait, to catch something from His mouth.

Jesus said to them; If God were your Father, you would love me: for I came out from God, and I return; for I have not spoken from myself, but He sent me. Wherefore do you not understand my speech? Because you are not able to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and you wish to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there was no truth in him. When he may speak a lie, he speaks of his own: because he is a liar, and the father of the same. And because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. Which one of you convicts me concerning sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? The one being of God hears the words of God: on account of this you do not hear, because you are not of God. The Jews responded and said to Him, Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon? Jesus responded, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. But I do not seek my own glory: there is One seeking and judging. Truly, truly, I say unto you, if any one may keep my word, he may never see death. The Jews said to Him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham and the prophets are dead; and thou sayest, If any one may keep my word, he may never taste death. Whether art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself? Jesus responded, If I may glorify myself, my glory is nothing: my Father is the one glorifying me; whom you say, that, He is our God; indeed you do not know Him: but I know Him. If I may say, I know Him not, I will be a liar like you: but I know Him, and I keep His word. Abraham, our father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it, and was glad. Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then they took up stones that they might cast at Him: and Jesus was hidden, and departed out from the temple.

We know that God hears not sinners: but if any one may be a worshiper of God, and do His will, He hears him. It was never heard of from the beginning that any one opened the eyes of a man who was born blind: if He were not with God, He would not be able to do anything. They responded and said to him, Thou art altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
