John 7:48 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? We are expressly told that "many of them" did, including Nicodemus and Joseph, but not one of these had openly "confessed Him" (John 12:42); and this appeal must have stung such of them as heard it to the quick.
