Who were the Pharisees? Were they legalists that Jesus condemned because they kept God's laws? Or were they hypocrites who practiced lawlessness? Did Jesus condemn the Pharisees for keeping or violating God's laws? Did the Pharisees value tradition over the word of God? Did they keep or violate each of the Ten Commandments? What is a hypocrite?
