Best Answer

Jesus knew that the Pharisees diligently studied the scriptures. The Pharisee thought that the scriptures were where they were going to get all of "the answers". Instead Jesus himself tried to explain that 'He' was the true light that was coming into the world and that salvation was only attainable by coming directly to him --> John 5:39-47 You can further differentiate what Jesus had to say about the scriptures vs "the Word" by looking at John 1:1-3. This observation (truth) that Jesus had was further reinforced by his teachings as they continued on through the apostles that Jesus appointed. The book of Romans speaks a great deal about the Pharisees' belief in the scriptures (more specifically "the law") and how they thought they could obtain salvation by doing or not doing the right things.

How did Jesus feel about the Pharisees?

Jesus appears to have felt considerable kinship with the Pharisees. He spent long hours in synagogues that were dominated by Pharisees, ate meals with Pharisees, and visited Pharisees in their homes. His arguments with Pharisees make up a significant part of the Gospels. The record of Jesus' arguments with the Pharisees in the Gospels and the record of arguments among the Pharisees in the Talmud suggest that Jesus's style of argument, vehemence and occasional name calling (hypocrites!) were typical Phariseeic behavior. It is quite likely that many Pharisees during Jesus' lifetime considered him to be a Pharisee. Most of what Jesus taught in the Gospels is in accordance with the teachings of the school of Rabbi Hillel -- the more humanist and less legalist school of Phariseeic thought.
