For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”

Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”

The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”

The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

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

But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
