Matthew 12:9-
Being impious, the Pharisees were pretending piety in order to destroy the pious. That is why they also tried to slander Christ and his disciples when they saw them shining with wonders (Matthew 12:9–14).
Greek
14 Ἀσεβεῖς ὄντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ὑπεκρίνοντο τὴν εὐσέβειαν, ἵνα τοὺς εὐσεβεῖς ἐξολοθρεύσωσι. διὸ καὶ τὸν Χριστὸν διαβάλλειν ἐπεχείρουν καὶ τοὺς αὐτοῦ μαθητὰς ὁρῶντες αὐτοὺς λαμπρυνομένους τοῖς θαύμασιν.
