Hypocrisy: The Pharisees

Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, …

But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?

Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

…and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. …

So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

At this, they shouted, “Away with Him! Away with Him! Crucify Him!” “Shall I crucify your King?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” replied the chief priests.
