Member of sect in NT (8)

I believe the answer is:

pharisee

(Other definitions for pharisee that I've seen before include "hypocritical type" , "Sanctimonious hypocrite" , "Self-righteous one in the Bible" , "Strict follower of Jewish law" , "Ancient Jewish sectarian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
