John 7:26

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

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

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:

These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
