And they 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 how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have you not brought him?

Then answered them the Pharisees, Are you also deceived?

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

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

The Pharisees therefore said unto him, You bear record of yourself; your record is not true.

They brought to the Pharisees him that formerly was blind.

Then again the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keeps not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

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

Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do you see how you can do nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
