Φαρισαῖος

When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, He would know who this is and what kind of woman is touching Him—for she is a sinner!”

As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

Then the Lord said, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

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

As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,

In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”

One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

But some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”

Then the Pharisees who had been sent

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

When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John

When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”

“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.

“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?

The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”

Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”

But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.

But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.

Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”

Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.

So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.

But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.

But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and declared, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”

Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”

As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection nor angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that I lived as a Pharisee, adhering to the strictest sect of our religion.

…circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
