Now the Pharisees who had been sent

The Pharisees who had been sent

( Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)

Then the Pharisees who had been sent

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

And the messengers had been sent from the Pharisees.

Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees.

And they had been sent from the Pharisees.

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

The Pharisees( who loved money) heard all this and ridiculed him.

“ But woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You keep locking people out of the kingdom of heaven! For you neither enter nor permit those trying to enter to go in.

When he went out from there, the experts in the law and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to ask him hostile questions about many things,

Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup, so that the outside may become clean too!

But the Lord said to him,“ Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.You fools! Didn’t the one who made the outside make the inside as well?But give from your heart to those in need, and then everything will be clean for you.“ But woe to you Pharisees! You give a tenth of your mint, rue, and every herb, yet you neglect justice and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others.Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seats in the synagogues and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces!Woe to you! You are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without realizing it!”

However, the Pharisees and the experts in religious law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)

Then the Pharisees answered,“ You haven’t been deceived too, have you?None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed in him, have they?But this rabble who do not know the law are accursed!”

( For the Sadducees say there is no resurrection, or angel, or spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.)

I was circumcised on the eighth day, from the people of Israel and the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews. I lived according to the law as a Pharisee.In my zeal for God I persecuted the church. According to the righteousness stipulated in the law I was blameless.

They know, because they have known me from time past, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee.

Now a certain man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council,came to Jesus at night and said to him,“ Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him.”
