	Pharisees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pharisees believed that the idea that all of the children of Israel were to be like priests was expressed elsewhere in the Torah, for example, when the Law itself was transferred from the sphere of the priesthood to every man in Israel (Exodus 19: 29-24; Deuteronomy 6: 7, 11: 19; comp.
		According to Josephus, Pharisees were further distinguished from the Sadducees in that Pharisees believed in the resurrection of the dead.
		In general, the Pharisees emphasized a commitment to social justice, belief in the brotherhood of mankind, and a faith in the redemption of the Jewish nation and, ultimately, humanity.

	A DISCOURSE UPON THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Pharisee was a sectarian; the Publican was an officer.
		The Pharisee was a sectarian, one that deviated, that turned aside in his worshipping from the way of God, both in matter and manner of worship; for such an one I count a sectarian.
		The Pharisee therefore was not so good, but the Publican was as bad: Indeed, the Publican was a notorious wretch, one that had a way of transgressing by himself; one that could not be sufficiently condemned by the Jews, nor coupled with a viler than himself.

	Robert Farrar Capon - The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
		He has sent in the Pharisee who was one of the most respectable people in Judaism of his time and He has sent into the temple with him this tax collector who is a mafia-style enforcer, who is a bad apple.
		The Pharisee's mistake, therefore, is not that he is saying something that it is just proud or a little bit arrogant, but that what he is saying is dead wrong.
		The Pharisee is a very high class kind of dead duck, but they are both dead as far as being able to reconcile with God is concerned.

		In the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, one of the things that the Pharisee plumes himself on is that he gives tithes of all he possesses (Luke 18:12).

	SUNDAY OF THE PUBLICAN AND THE PHARISEE
		The Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee is the first Sunday of a three-week period prior to the commencement of Great Lent.
		This is the story of two men, one a Pharisee, a member of a Jewish sect known for its diligent observance of the Law, and the other a Publican, a government official charged with the responsibility of collecting taxes.
		The fault of the Pharisee is that he has no desire to change his outlook; he is complacent, self-satisfied, and so he allows no place for God to act within him.

	The Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The term “Pharisee” is presumed to have come from parûš, which in Hebrew means “Separated One.” “The Pharisees were a movement (not a denomination in the modern sense) within Judaism devoted to observing the Torah, including ritual purity, and piety toward God” (Hultgren 120-1).
		Scott likens the prayer of the Pharisee to a map: “To suggest that the Pharisee is arrogant or morally superior misses the point that he has only done what the temple map requires of those on the inside” (315).
		The Pharisee needs those whom he despises, particularly the tax collector, to be what he is. The tax collector, on the other hand, is the person he is because of the stigma placed upon him by the Pharisees and other special persons.

	What is a Pharisee?
		The doctrine of the Pharisees was not "as straight as an arrow" (orthodox); it was heterodox.
		Modern-day Pharisees are the offspring of vipers, children of hell, and sons of Satan, and those who follow them and speak peace to them fall into the pit with them.
		In contrast to the modern-day Pharisees and their followers, true Christians are ones who boast in Christ and Him crucified and no other, meaning that they believe that Christ's work ensured the salvation of all whom He represented and is the only thing that makes the difference between salvation and damnation.

		The righteousness of the Pharisee proved to be vanity, and was condemned, for it was yoked to pride; but the Publican gained humility, which goes with the virtue exalting men on high.
		The Publican and Pharisee both ran in the race of life, but the one was overcome by foolish pride: He was brought to a shameful shipwreck, while the other was saved by humility.
		The Pharisee spent his life in virtue, and the Publican in sin; but the one was foolishly brought low through his pride, while the other in his humility of mind was raised up to the heights.

	The Parable of the Publican and the Pharisee
		The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
		In fact, the Pharisee only did what the temple map required of those who were considered insiders and members of the religious elite of the time.
		Luke attributes this statement to the humility of the publican and to the pride of the Pharisee, but the publican did not even make restitution for his extortions as Zacchaeus did (Luke 19:1-9) and the Pharisee thanked God for his good deeds, as was customary in the prayers of a devout Pharisee of his time.

	There Must be Fifty Ways to be a Pharisee
		As a budding Bible student, I thought the New Testament objected to Phariseeism because of the Pharisees' legalism—that is, their preoccupation with laws, rules, principles, and the minute, trivial details of religious observance.
		It is their attempt to escape the damning truth of their own moral perversity and moral unworthiness by behaving and acting in such a way that they conform to an artificial, self-chosen "image" of what it means to be a moral and righteous being.
		When a Pharisee, skilled in his ability to project his image of righteousness, confronts someone, that person is almost irresistibly tempted to employ the same strategy, to act and behave in such a way that he, too, can portray righteousness convincingly.

	Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Jesus condemned the Pharisees for their hypocrisy (Matthew 23:13-28), he also dined with Pharisees (Luke 7:36-50), taught in their synagogues (Mark 1:21), specified their teachings to his followers (Matthew 23:1-3), and counted Pharisees such as Nicodemus among his disciples (John 7:50-51).
		Jesus often met with society's outcasts, such as the publicani (Imperial tax collectors who were despised for extorting money), including the apostle Matthew; when the Pharisees objected to meeting with sinners rather than the righteous, Jesus replied that it was the sick who need a physician, not the healthy (Matthew 9:9-13).
		In Jesus' day, the two main schools of thought among the Pharisees were the House of Hillel and the House of Shammai.

	parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
		Having pictured the Pharisee is such a bad light, one might be provoked to pray, "God I thank you that I am not like that Pharisee", whereas in fact by doing so one may be just like that Pharisee.
		The Pharisee in this parable is characterized as one who is confident of his own righteousness and looks down on others.
		This lack of humility is often evident by the condescending attitude of the Pharisee while he fails to make an honest evaluation of himself.
