Bible | Pharisees separatists (Heb. persahin, from parash, "to separate"). They were probably the successors of the Assideans (i.e., the "pious"), a party that originated in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes in revolt against his heathenizing policy. The first mention of them is in a description by Josephus of the three sects or schools into which the Jews were divided (B.C. 145). The other two sects were the Essenes and the Sadducees. In the time of our Lord they were the popular party (John 7:48). They were extremely accurate and minute in all matters appertaining to the law of Moses (Matt. 9:14; 23:15; Luke 11:39; 18:12). Paul, when brought before the council of Jerusalem, professed himself a Pharisee (Acts 23:6-8; 26:4, 5). There was much that was sound in their creed, yet their system of religion was a form and nothing more. Theirs was a very lax morality (Matt. 5:20; 15:4, 8; 23:3, 14, 23, 25; John 8:7). On the first notice of them in the New Testament (Matt. 3:7), they are ranked by our Lord with the Sadducees as a "generation of vipers." They were noted for their self-righteousness and their pride (Matt. 9:11; Luke 7:39; 18:11, 12). They were frequently rebuked by our Lord (Matt. 12:39; 16:1-4). From the very beginning of his ministry the Pharisees showed themselves bitter and persistent enemies of our Lord. They could not bear his doctrines, and they sought by every means to destroy his influence among the people. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Literature | Pharisees means "separatists" (Heb. parash, to separate), men who looked upon themselves as holier than other men, and therefore refused to hold social intercourse with them. The Talmud mentions the following classes:- (1) The "Dashers," or "Bandylegged" (Nikfi), who scarcely lifted their feet from the ground in walking, but "dashed them against the stones," that people might think them absorbed in holy thought (Matt. xxi. 44). (2) The "Mortars," who wore a "mortier," or cap, which would not allow them to see the passers-by, that their mediations might not be disturbed. "Having eyes, they saw not" (Mark viii. 18). (3) The "Bleedeis," who inserted thorns in the borders of their gaberdines to prick their legs in walking. (4) The "Cryers," or "Inquirers," who went about crying out, "Let me know my duty, and I will do it" (Matt. xix. 16-22). (5) The "Almsgivers," who had a trumpet sounded before them to summon the poor together (Matt. vi. 2). (6) The "Stumblers," or "Bloody-browed" (Kizai), who shun their eyes when they went abroad that they might see no women, being "blind leaders of the blind" (Matt. xv. 14). Our Lord calls them "blind Pharisees," "fools and blind." (7) The "Immovables," who stood like statues for hours together, "praying in the market places" (Matt. vi. 5). (8) The "Pestle Pharisees" (Medinkia), who kept themselves bent double like the handle of a pestle. (9) The "Strong-shouldered" (Shikmi), who walked with their back bent as if carrying on their shoulders the whole burden of the law. (10) The "Dyed Pharisees," called by our Lord "Whited Sepulchres," whose externals of devotion cloaked hypocrisy and moral uncleanness. (Talmud of Jerusalem, Berakoth, ix; Sota, v. 7; Talmud of Babylon, Sota, 22 b.). Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
