But if you look at the nature of the people listed, there are no "Pharisees" included in the list. Only the ones that he dined with as the Pharisees sat by and complained. The issues were not the equivalent of the sellers of merchandise in the temple, but the laws of the government that ruled over the land. And he did not discuss them. They were not relevant to his kingdom. Paul did say to obey them because they provide peace, yet we gripe about them, creating unrest and chasing peace away.

There is something to be said about a restful heart and inner peace.
I watch conservative news and I become anxious because they are close to the truth, and I watch liberal news and I become furious because they are lying to me. Then I look at some friends and family who watch no news, and they are more relaxed and stress-free.
Oh the bliss of ignorance.
