  4. Torah Reading Genesis 41 1-7 Pharaoh's Dreams  1 When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile, 2 when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds. 3 After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank. 4 And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.  5 He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk. 6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind. 7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy, full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up; it had been a dream.

  5. Torah Reading Numbers 7:30-35 On the fourth day Elizur son of Shedeur, the leader of the people of Reuben, brought his offering.  31 His offering was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering; 32 one gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense; 33 one young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering; 34 one male goat for a sin offering; 35 and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old, to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Elizur son of Shedeur.

  6. Brit Hadasha Reading John 10:22-27 22 Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomon's Colonnade. 24 The Jews gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." 25 Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

  8. Jesus the PhariseePart 1 By Rabbi Stanley

  9. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 1 please Christianity has lost its understanding of the Jewishness of Jesus. It has lost touch with the culture out of which the message of Jesus was spoken, thus bringing a Gentile definition to Jewish words.

  10. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 2 please The method increasingly chosen by theologians who wish to understand is to focus on the relationship between Yeshua and the Judaism of his day.

  11. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 3 please Non-Jews 20 centuries removed from the life and ministry of the historical Jesus do not find this approach easy or comfortable, for it necessitates dropping the assumption that Christianity has displaced Judaism.

  12. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 4 please It means refusing to spiritualize the literal meanings of the texts; and it requires familiarization with the first-century Jewish mindset.

  13. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 5 please Learning that Jesus was a Pharisee, makes many uncomfortable. But it’s true none-the-less Jesus had some significant identification with Pharisaism. Scholars agree that the New Testament portrait of Jews, and especially of Pharisees, is in large part distorted and inaccurate.

  14. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 6 please We hear so many bad things about the Pharisees in Church. We hear that Jesus called them “Vipers” and “Hypocrites”. So they must have been bad people right?

  15. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 7 please They must have been terrible people for the loving, forgiving, Lamb of G-d to call them such names. Those Pharisees were Jews and we all know how bad they can be!

  16. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 8 please But that’s how they are portrayed in the translations. They come across as the “Bad guys”. But in fact, they were a good righteous people. People that we should aspire to be like.

  17. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 9 please So let’s look at the passages that give us the impression that the Pharisees were bad people.

  18. Jesus the Pharisee Matthew 3 John the Baptist Prepares the Way  4John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.  7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

  19. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 10 please So here we see in this passage John the Baptist calling them a brood of vipers too.

  20. Jesus the Pharisee Matthew 5 17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

  21. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 11 please This seems to say that the Pharisees aren’t even going to get to heaven.

  22. Jesus the Pharisee Matthew 9  10While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples. 11When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"  12On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

  23. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 12 please Here, the Pharisees just seem like elitists. Yuck!

  24. Jesus the Pharisee Matthew 12 13Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

  25. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 13 please The Pharisees wanted to kill Jesus? Who would want to be a Pharisee???

  26. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 14 please I would! Shalom I’m Rabbi Stanley, a Pharisee! Glad to meet you.

  27. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 15 please Why would I want to be a Pharisee? They seem to be not only bad people, but even Jesus didn’t seem to like them.

  28. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 16 please Let’s find out what the Pharisees were really like and why the Church has painted a negative picture of these people.

  29. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 17 please The Christian Church, with the aid of bad translations, have a way of ignoring parts of Scripture.

  30. Jesus the Pharisee Matthew 5 17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish thembut to fulfill them.

  31. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 18 please Let’s look at some passages that the Church neglects concerning the Pharisees….

  32. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 19 please John 3  1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:  2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

  33. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 20 please “The Lord's discourse that night three years ago had emphasized the need for every believer to come out into the light, not hide under the cover of darkness as Nicodemus was doing: " Men loved darkness...for every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be discovered. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest" (Jn. 3:19-21).”

  34. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 21 please Nicademas didn’t go to Jesus at night because he was afraid of the other Jews. He just went at night! He obviously wasn’t afraid of what they thought because he stood before the whole Sanhedrin and defends Jesus in in just 3 chapters later in John 7:50. Night would’ve been a great time to have a private audience with Yeshua!

  35. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 22 please Nicodemus was a member of the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin was the religious Supreme Court and legislative body of Israel. You don’t get any more powerful then that as a Jew in HaAretz (The Land).

  36. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 23 please The Church mentions him from time to time, the Catholic church has made him a Saint but it’s always just about him, just one Pharisee. Not many. 1

  37. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 24 please John 3  1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:  2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

  38. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 25 please Nicodemus was the Rabbi of his own School. Just as Gamiliel, Hillel and Shammai were. These were big schools and they had many followers. Nicodemas was saying, “We (he and his school or his followers) believe you are of God”. No truly holy man would conceal if he believed that a man was “of God”.

  39. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 26 please the Jewish Encyclopedia and many Biblical historians believe him to be identical to Nicodemus ben Gurion, mentioned in the Talmud. It says that he was a wealthy and popular holy man reputed to have had miraculous powers.

  40. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 27 please Dr. Craig Blomberg writes “The picture of Nicodemus in John's Gospel fits what we know of the ben Gurion family: they were rich, they were Pharisees, they were teachers of the law and members of the ruling class. Jewish tradition also speaks of one of Jesus' disciples called Nakkai.” which Blomberg identifies as a Hebrew equivalent of Nicodemus. (Taanith," 20a) Megillat Taanit written by the two eldest pupils of Hillel and Shammai

  41. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 28 please Side note on Nicodemas… He knew what Jesus was talking about concerning being Born Again. This concept of being “born anew” was not foreign to Rabbi Nicodemus because Pharisaic Judaism viewed pivotal life stages in this way. For example…

  42. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 29 please When a young man experienced his bar mitzvah, he is considered to be “Born Anew”.

  43. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 30 please Or when an older man became the head of a rabbinical school (as was Nicodemus), he was considered to be “Born Anew”.

  44. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 31 please When a person, man or woman had gone through the mikva. He was “Born Anew” Nicodemus wasn’t ignorant… he was getting clarification!

  45. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 32 please Nicodemas was a Messianic Pharisee and Rabbi. Who humbly addressed Jesus as Rabbi. I highly respect Nicodemas. It disturbs me when I hear self righteous Christians talk about him like he was an ignorant boob.

  46. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 33 please Gamiliel (“Reward of God” in Hebrew The word for the letter gimel is derived from the word gemul) Gamiliel was a leading authority in the Sanhedrin. He was the Rabbi of one of the largest schools in the Pharisaical party. He was the grandson of the great Jewish teacher Hillel. He was also Paul’s Rabbi.

  47. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 34 please He never became a true follower (talmid) of Yeshua (Jesus) but he had an interesting thing to say about the Disciples (talmideem). Something Shaul, Saul, didn’t agree with in the beginning.

  48. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 35 please He urged caution in acting against the disciples of Jesus preaching the Gospel. “If they are frauds, their movement will collapse”, he said, “but if it is of God, nothing can be done to stop them.” Acts 5:39 All being said and done Gamiliel saved their lives in Acts 5 and that is why Luke speaks so highly of him.

  49. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 36 please Paul said: Acts 22:3 3 “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel (school, he was a talmid of), taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.

  50. Jesus the Pharisee Slide 37 please According to Photius (800 AD), Gamiliel was baptized by Peter and John, together with his son and with Nicodemus. He said that he remained a member of the Sanhedrin for the purpose of helping his fellow Believers of The Way. It is possible. No one knows for sure.
