The Righteousness of Scribes and Pharisees
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Is there something especial with the scribes and Pharisees in Jesus day? But why John the Baptist called them the "generation of vipers" and even held a council against Christ. Any idea brethren?
Matthew 12:14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
