I asked Jesus about this whole situation, and remembered these words: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Matthew fills an entire chapter with a scathing rebuke by Jesus. Jesus lumped all the experts in the law and the Pharisees into one bucket...

This example of how Jesus addressed the Pharisees fits the situation very well. He did not address where a Pharisee lived. The bucket was full of snakes. I might happen to get an apple out of the bucket without getting bit, but it would be a matter of chance; more than likely, I would need antivenum.
