What did Jesus really think of the Pharisees? Pt II Moments that Matter, Christian Questions
Jesus presented the seven woes to the scribes and Pharisees in Matthew 23 in a mixed crowd.

In a recent podcast we discussed these “woes”. Jesus began by describing them as hypocrites because they unjustly claimed Moses’ authority for themselves.
