And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
