Member of an ancient Jewish sect in conflict with Christ (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pharisee

(Other definitions for pharisee that I've seen before include "Self-righteous Biblical person" , "Strict observer" , "Hypocritical Biblical official" , "scribe's partner" , "Hare pies for the Biblical pedant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
