Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked,“ What? Are we blind too?”

Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him,“ Are we also blind?”

Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked,“ Are you saying we’re blind?”

Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and asked him,“ We aren’t blind too, are we?”

Those who were with Him from the Pharisees heard these things and said to Him,“ We are not blind too, are we?”

Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him,“ Are we blind also?”

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?

Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and asked Him,“ We aren’t blind too, are we?”

And[ some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked him,“ We are not blind too, are we?”

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him,“ Are we also blind?”

You say,“ I am rich. I’ve become wealthy and don’t need anything.” But you don’t realize how pitiful and miserable you have become. You are poor, blind and naked.

Then the disciples came to him. They asked,“ Do you know that the Pharisees were angry when they heard this?”Jesus replied,“ They are plants that my Father in heaven has not planted. They will be pulled up by the roots.Leave the Pharisees. They are blind guides. If one blind person leads another blind person, both of them will fall into a pit.”

You think you know so much more than the people you teach. You think you’re helping blind people. You think you are a light for those in the dark.You think you can make foolish people wise. You act like you’re teaching little children. You think that the law gives you all knowledge and truth.You claim to teach others, but you don’t even teach yourself! You preach against stealing. But you steal!You say that people should not commit adultery. But you commit adultery! You hate statues of gods. But you rob temples!

“ You mean he has fooled you also?” the Pharisees asked.“ Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in him?No! But this mob knows nothing about the law. There is a curse on them.”Then Nicodemus, a Pharisee, spoke. He was the one who had gone to Jesus earlier. He asked,“ Does our law find a man guilty without hearing him first? Doesn’t it want to find out what he is doing?”They replied,“ Are you from Galilee too? Look into it. You will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”

“ How terrible for you, blind guides! You say,‘ If anyone makes a promise in the name of the temple, it means nothing. But anyone who makes a promise in the name of the gold of the temple must keep that promise.’You are blind and foolish! Which is more important? Is it the gold? Or is it the temple that makes the gold holy?You also say,‘ If anyone makes a promise in the name of the altar, it means nothing. But anyone who makes a promise in the name of the gift on the altar must keep that promise.’You are blind! Which is more important? Is it the gift? Or is it the altar that makes the gift holy?So anyone making a promise in the name of the altar makes a promise in the name of it and everything on it.And anyone making a promise in the name of the temple makes a promise in the name of it and the one who lives in it.And anyone making a promise in the name of heaven makes a promise in the name of God’s throne and the one who sits on it.“ How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You give God a tenth of your spices, like mint, dill and cumin. But you have not practiced the more important things of the law, which are fairness, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the last things without failing to do the first.You blind guides! You remove the smallest insect from your food. But you swallow a whole camel!“ How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You clean the outside of a cup and dish. But on the inside you are full of greed. You only want to satisfy yourselves.Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish. Then the outside will also be clean.“ How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You are like tombs that are painted white. They look beautiful on the outside. But on the inside they are full of the bones of the dead. They are also full of other things that are not pure and‘ clean.’It is the same with you. On the outside you seem to be doing what is right. But on the inside you are full of what is wrong. You pretend to be what you are not.

Then the Pharisees replied,“ When you were born, you were already deep in sin. How dare you talk like that to us!” And they threw him out of the synagogue.

Then the Lord spoke to him.“ You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish,” he said.“ But inside you are full of greed and evil.You foolish people! Didn’t the one who made the outside make the inside also?Give freely to poor people to show what is inside you. Then everything will be clean for you.“ How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! You give God a tenth of your garden plants, such as mint and rue. But you have forgotten to be fair and to love God. You should have practiced the last things without failing to do the first.“ How terrible for you Pharisees! You love the most important seats in the synagogues. You love having people greet you with respect in the market.“ How terrible for you! You are like graves that are not marked. People walk over them without knowing it.”An authority on the law spoke to Jesus. He said,“ Teacher, when you say things like that, you say bad things about us too.”Jesus replied,“ How terrible for you authorities on the law! You put such heavy loads on people that they can hardly carry them. But you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.“ How terrible for you! You build tombs for the prophets. It was your people of long ago who killed them.So you show that you agree with what your people did long ago. They killed the prophets, and now you build the prophets’ tombs.So God in his wisdom said,‘ I will send prophets and apostles to them. They will kill some. And they will try to hurt others.’So the people of today will be punished. They will pay for all the prophets’ blood spilled since the world began.I mean from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah. He was killed between the altar and the temple. Yes, I tell you, the people of today will be punished for all these things.“ How terrible for you authorities on the law! You have taken away the key to the door of knowledge. You yourselves have not entered. And you have stood in the way of those who were entering.”When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law strongly opposed him. They threw a lot of questions at him.They set traps for him. They wanted to catch him in something he might say.
