But [when he] saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

For I say to you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And [when they] saw [it], the Pharisees began to say to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

Then the disciples of John approached him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"

But the Pharisees were saying, "By the ruler of demons he expels the demons!"

But [when] the Pharisees saw [it], they said to him, "Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!"

Jesus left there and went into their [i.e., the Pharisees'] synagogues,

But the Pharisees went out {and plotted} against him in order that they could destroy him.

But the Pharisees, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!"

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him saying, "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?"

[So], let these Pharisees alone; they are blind leaders. And if a blind person leads a blind person, both of them will fall into a ditch."

And [when] the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test [him], they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

And Jesus said to them, "Watch out for and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"

How do you not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"

Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of 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?"

And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.

Then the Pharisees went and held a consultation, that they might entrap him in his words.

When the Pharisees heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they came together.

While the Pharisees were together, Jesus asked them a question,

Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples, saying, The scribes and Pharisees sit in the chair of Moses:

saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you shut the kingdom of heaven before people! For you do not enter, nor permit those wanting to go in to enter.

Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you close the kingdom of heaven in the face of men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you suffer those who are entering, to go in.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you travel around the sea and the dry [land] to make one convert, and when he becomes [one], you make him twice as much a son of hell [as] you [are]!

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you pay a tenth of mint and dill and cumin, and neglect the more important [matters] of the law--justice and mercy and faithfulness! It was necessary to do these [things] {while not neglecting those}.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence!

Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean!

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

And with similar language also did the chief priests, insulting him, with the scribes and elders, and Pharisees,

The next day that followeth the day of preparing, the high priests and Pharisees got themselves to Pilate,

And it happened that he was reclining at table in his house; and many publicans and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and scribes of the Pharisees were also following him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees did fast, and they therefore came and said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?"

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

The Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him [in the Jewish high court].

Then He said to the Pharisees, "Is it permissible by the law of Moses to do something good, or something harmful on the Sabbath day? To save a life or to kill it?" But they did not reply.

And the Pharisees departed, and straightway gathered a counsel, with them that belonged to Herod, against him: that they might destroy him.

And the Pharisees came together unto him, and divers of the scribes which came from Jerusalem.

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not; observing the traditions of the elders.

Then asked him the Pharisees and scribes, "Why walk not thy disciples according to the traditions of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?"

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven and tempting him,

And he charged them, saying, "Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."

And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?

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

And the Pharisees came and asked him a question, whether it were lawful for a man to put away his wife, to prove him.

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.

And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might entrap him in his words.

Then one of the experts in the law of Moses [Note: Matt. 22:34 identifies him as being a Pharisee also], came and heard Jesus and the Sadducees discussing together [i.e., the subject of the resurrection], and knowing that Jesus had refuted the Sadducees successfully, asked Him, "Which commandment is foremost, above all the others?"

As Jesus was teaching in the Temple, He responded [to some Pharisees. See Matt. 22:41] by asking, "How is it that the experts in the law of Moses can say that the Christ is the son of David?

And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.

And the scribes and Pharisees were having an argument, saying, Who is this, who has no respect for God? who is able to give forgiveness for sins, but God only?

And their scribes and pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

And they said unto Him, Why do the disciples of John frequently fast and pray, and likewise those of the pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

And some of the pharisees said to them, Why do ye do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath-days?

And the scribes and pharisees watched Him to see if He would work a cure on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against Him.

But the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were goaded to madness, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.

but the pharisees indeed and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God within themselves, and were not baptized by him.---

And one of the pharisees asked Him to eat with him: and He went into the pharisee's house, and sat down.

And behold a woman in the city, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,

But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious sinner.

And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.

And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

Then Jesus told a parable to those who had been invited [i.e., the dinner guests at the Pharisee's house. See verse 1], because He noticed how they were choosing places of honor [at the dinner table]. [So], He said to them,

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.

And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.

The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

I tell you that this man went down to his home justified rather than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

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

Then certain of the Pharisees answered and said, "Master, thou hast well said."

And Jesus said to them [i.e., the Pharisees. See Matt. 22:41], "How is it that they [i.e., the experts in the law of Moses. See Mark 12:35] can say that the Christ [i.e., God's specially chosen one] is the son of David?

And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees.

NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

AS soon then as the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John

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

Then the officers returned to the chief priest and Pharisees,

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him?

The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?

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

[Now] Nicodemus (being a leading Pharisee, and the one who went to talk to Jesus one night), said to them,

And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,

The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
