The Pharisees were a Jewish religious party during the time of [[Jesus]]. They were very strict in obeying the Law of Moses and other regulations which had been added to it through the centuries.
The word Pharisee means something like "someone who is set apart or separated".
In the New Testament they are portrayed as legalistic. Instead of being compassionate toward others, they are more concerned with keeping all the regulations that had been made up by earlier teachers of the law. Instead of following the spirit of the Law they followed the letters of the laws.
