Now it was some of the Pharisees who had been sent to him;

Now there was one of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews.

Accordingly when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John,"

The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the high priest and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

Then the officers returned to the chief priest and Pharisees,

"Surely you have not been led astray, have you? answered the Pharisees.

"Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?

when the Scribes and Pharisees had brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They made her stand in the middle of the court, and said to him.

Then said the Pharisees to him. "You are bearing testimony to yourself; your testimony is not true."

Then they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

so the Pharisees again began to ask him questions about how he had regained his sight; and he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now I see."

Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"

Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked, "We are not blind, are we?"

but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.

Now the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.

Then the Pharisees said among themselves. "You see! You can do nothing! Look! The world is gone after him!"

Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed on him, but did not confess in on account of the Pharisees, for fear lest they be put out of the Synagogue.

So after getting troops and some Temple police from the chief priests and Pharisees, Judas came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
