John 6:47-49

John 6:47-49. The Pharisees therefore answered them, Have ye also been led astray? Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? But this multitude which understandeth not the law are cursed. In such a matter as the acceptance of any man as Messiah, the judgment of the rulers (members of the Sanhedrin) must surely be decisive; but what ruler or (to take a wider range, and include all who accurately interpret the Law and uphold its majesty) who of the Pharisees has sanctioned the claims of Jesus? The foolish multitude may have done so, in this showing an ignorance which, in the mind of the Pharisees, deserves and brings with it a curse. of such contemptuous treatment of the common people, as distinguished from ‘the disciples of the wise,' many examples may be produced from the sayings of Jewish Rabbis. Once more it may be noted, our Lord's enemies pronounce their own condemnation in proclaiming their unbelief.
