The '''Pharisees''' were liberal intellectuals at the time of Jesus, who opposed His logic and insisted twisted [[Bible|Biblical]] law to defend their authority. They rejected anything that was not based in authority, and defined themselves to be the sole authority. The modern-day equivalent to the Pharisees is adherence to [[Hearsay society|hearsay based on liberal authorities]].

The Pharisees opposed the priestly [[Sadducees]] who were not as great in number, but had political power. The term "Pharisees" derives from "Perisha" (the singular of "Perishaya"), which means "one who separates himself." In a religious sense it meant a group that separates itself from impure persons and things in seeking a higher level of holiness as desired by [[God]].
