HE LEGALISTIC PHARISEES of the bible are very often indicated as or associated with the priests of the Council of Seventy, called the Sanhedrin. This was the high court of Judaism at the Temple in Jerusalem. But others of the Pharisee sect existed throughout Israel, and wherever Jesus goes in his travels, they contend against him. Of them, the prophet warns “‘Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see. Should you not fear me?’ declares the Lord.” (Jer. 5:21-22) Notable exceptions in Jesus’ time are the mentions of Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, both of whom were vocal supporters.
