And those who were sent were of the Pharisees;

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John,

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent attendants to take him.

Then came the attendants to the chief priests and the Pharisees; and they said to them: Why have you not brought him?

Then the Pharisees answered them: Are you also deceived?

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

And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman who had been detected in adultery; and they made her stand in the midst,

Then the Pharisees said to him: You testify concerning yourself; your testimony is not worthy of credit.

They brought to the Pharisees him that had formerly been blind.

Then again the Pharisees also inquired of him how he had received his sight. He said to them: He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.

Then some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them?

And some of the Pharisees who were with him, heard these things, and said to him: Are we also blind?

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

Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin, and said: What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should inform them, that they might take him.

Then the Pharisees said among themselves: You see that you gain nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.

But yet, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they would not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

Judas, then, having received the band of soldiers and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, came thither with torches and lamps and weapons.
