pharisee

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.

I never see such a flow of language as that bit where he called old Gommy a superannuated Pharisee.

Thus it came to pass that many of these had entered the kingdom, while the self-complacent Pharisee still remained without.

Or was he only a subconscious Pharisee, self-deceived and complacent?

Evidence of the popular dislike of the conservative Pharisee abounds.
