Matthew's Gospel, referring only to the Pharisees and Sadducees who came to him, has John call them vipers: Matthew 3:7: "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"


Luke's Gospel says that John called the entire crowd that came to him vipers, not just the Pharisees and Sadducees: "Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"

What is the difference between the words ingenuous and disingenuous?

"Ingenuous" means naive or innocent. (Think of the word "ingenue" for a stage role for a young, innocent woman.) "Disingenuous" looks like it would mean the opposite of "ingenuous," but that is not exactly so. "Disingenuous" means falsely pretending to be innocent or naive. Someone who is conniving and trying to manipulate for his own self-interest may pretend to be sincere and innocent in his motivations; we might call him disingenuous.
