There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
John 3:10
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
John 7:47-49
47
Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49
But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
