‘Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, “Are we also blind?”.
Some Pharisees who were there with Him rather uneasily recognised some of the implications of His statement. So they said to Him, ‘Are we also blind?' Of all men they thought that they could see. They were quite satisfied that they were different from ordinary men.
The words in the context suggests these were not disciples but rather listeners who were willing to give Him a fair chance, but no more. Thus they were probably other than the believing ex-Judaisers (John 8:31).
