The Woes of the Pharisees is a list of criticisms by Jesus against scribes and Pharisees in the Gospel of Luke and Gospel of Matthew .〔''The passion story'' by Marcia Ann Kupfer 2008 ISBN 0-271-03307-X pages 223-224〕 and include warnings about scribes. Seven are listed in Matthew, and hence Matthew's version is known as the seven woes, while only six are given in Luke, whose version is thus known as the six woes. The woes mostly criticise the Pharisees for hypocrisy and perjury. They illustrate the differences between inner and outer moral states.〔 ==Context and background== The woes do not occur in the same point of the narrative in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. In Matthew they occur shortly before Jesus returns to Jerusalem for his last few days before being crucified, while in Luke they occur shortly after the Lord's prayer is given and the disciples are first sent out over the land. Before introducing the woes themselves, Matthew states that Jesus criticized them for taking the place of honor at banquets, for wearing ostentatious clothing, for encouraging people to call them ''Rabbi''. The woes are all woes of hypocrisy and illustrate the differences between inner and outer moral states.〔 Jesus portrays the Pharisees as impatient with outward, ritual observance of minutiae which made them look acceptable and virtuous outwardly but left the inner person unreformed.
