Matthew 7:28

And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.

With reason were the people enraptured with his doctrines; for he taught as having authority from himself, and not like their doctors, who only spoke in the name of Moses, and whose only ambition was to please, and not to correct. In the Greek text there is only mention of the Scribes or doctors, but not of the Pharisees.
