This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And the Pharisees came forth (kai exēlthon hoi Pharisaioi). At once they met Jesus and opened a controversy. Mat 16:1 adds “and Sadducees,” the first time these two parties appear together against Jesus. See discussion on Mat 16:1. The Pharisees and Herodians had already joined hands against Jesus in the sabbath controversy (Mar 3:6). They began to question with him (ērxanto sunzētein autōi). Dispute, not mere inquiry, associative instrumental case of autoi. They began at once and kept it up (present infinitive).
