Φαρισαίους
Pharisaîos
Pharisees
Member of the Pharisees, a distinct socio-religious group in Judea during the late Second Temple period known for rigorous adherence to specific interpretations of Torah, oral traditions, and observance of ritual purity. In context, the term designates those who were recognized as adherents or sympathizers of this movement, often set apart from other Judean groups such as the Sadducees or Essenes. While primarily identifying a group with particular legal and ritual emphases, in Koine Greek, Φαρισαῖος could also serve in polemical or honorific contexts to describe individuals as especially scrupulous or observant of traditional customs.
