The most important difference between the versions of Matthew and Luke is that in Luke's Gospel, John the Baptist speaks to the multitude that have come to see him, while Matthew has John addressing the Pharisees and Sadducees in particular. [1] The Pharisees and Sadducees were two powerful and competing factions within Judaism at the time.
First, Pharisees believed in a broad and literal interpretation of Exodus (19:3–6), "you shall be my own possession among all peoples; for all the earth is mine, and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation," [49]: 40 and the words of 2 Maccabees (2:17): "God gave all the people the heritage, the kingdom, the priesthood, and ...
Jesus eats with sinners and publicans by Alexandre Bida. This narrative is told in Matthew 9:10-17, Mark 2:15-22, and Luke 5:29-39. [1] The Pharisee rebuke Jesus for eating with sinners, to which Jesus responds, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."

Jesus explains to him that to enter the Kingdom of God, he must be born again of water and of the Spirit.
John 8 is the eighth chapter in the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It continues the account of Jesus' debate with the Pharisees after the Feast of Tabernacles, which began in the previous chapter. Verses 1-11, along with John 7:53, form a pericope which is
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, [21] Jesus now asks a question of the Pharisees. Johann Bengel suggests that this was not merely the Pharisees gathering together as a group, but gathering "solemnly", [22] having assembled in verse 34 as a result of them hearing that the Sadducees had been "put to silence".

The Pharisees are not mentioned in the Greek text (λεγω υμιν, [11] legÅ humin, "I speak to you") but they are mentioned in the New International Version (NIV) in continuity with John 9:40, where "some Pharisees" had spoken with Jesus. The NIV and the Jerusalem Bible also confirm in verse 6 that the Pharisees are the group Jesus is ...
