rated, < parash, separate.] 1. One of an an- 
cient Jewish school, sect, or party which was 
specially exact in its interpretation and ob- 
servance of the law, both canonical and tradi- 
tional. In doctrine the Pharisees held to the resurrec- 
tion of the body, the existence of angels and spirits, the 
providence and decrees of God, the canonicity and author- 
ity of Scripture, and the authority of ecclesiastical tradi- 
tion ; politically they were intensely Jewish, though not 
constituting a distinct political party ; morally they were 
scrupulous in the observance of the ritual and regulations 
of the law, both written and oral. The Pharisees antago- 
nized John Hyrcanus I. (135-105 B. c.), and as religious 
reformers bitterly opposed the corruptions which had 
entered Judaism from the pagan religions. They were 
called Separatists by their opponents. In support of the 
authority of the law, and to provide for the many ques- 
tions which it did not directly answer, they adopted the 
theory of an oral tradition given by God to Moses. 
For the more glory of God that these thinges wer done, 
the more the Phariseis wer fret with enuye against Jesus.
