'Scribes' in the Bible
The scribes and the Pharisees began to argue among themselves, saying, "Who is this man who is uttering blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
The Pharisees and their scribes started complaining to Jesus' disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Jesus closely to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, in order to find a way of accusing him of doing something wrong.
He said, "The Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he must be killed, but on the third day he will be raised."
As Jesus was leaving, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him fiercely, interrogating him about many things.
But the Pharisees and the scribes kept complaining, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."
Then he began teaching in the Temple every day. The high priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him,
One day, while Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple and telling them the good news, the high priests and the scribes came with the elders
When the scribes and the high priests realized that Jesus had told this parable about them, they wanted to arrest him right then, but they were afraid of the crowd.
Then some of the scribes replied, "Teacher, you have given a fine answer."
"Beware of the scribes! They like to walk around in long robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, because they were afraid of the crowd.
As soon as day came, the elders of the people, the high priests, and the scribes assembled and brought him before their Council.
Meanwhile, the high priests and the scribes stood nearby and continued to accuse him vehemently.
