Are there still Pharisees? Do Christians hate them as much as Jesus and John the Baptist?

These were the Jewish religious leaders of the time, and they were far more interested in gaining materially and being recognized publicly than in leading their congregations. Though we may not actually see "Pharisees" today, most definitely see the same kind of mindset amongst the religious leaders in the world. Think of the televangelist who builds the huge mansion and puts in GOLD plated toilets... the preacher who drives a new car every year and wears $3000 suits.....the guru who lives on a 5000 acre ashram in Asia and has people faining all over his every movement. This is the kind of misuse of faith that Jesus foretold and was condemning in this scripture.
