Pharisees

¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

Then againe the Pharisees also asked him how he had receiued his sight. He said vnto them, Hee put clay vpon mine eyes, and I washed, and doe see.

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because hee keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner, doe such miracles? and there was a diuision among them.

And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these words, and saide vnto him, Are wee blinde also?

But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises, and tolde them what things Iesus had done.

¶ Then gathered y e chiefe Priests and the Pharises a councell, and said, What doe wee? for this man doeth many miracles.

Now both the chiefe Priests and the Pharises had giuen a commandement, that if any man knew where hee were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

The Pharisees therefore saide among themselues, Perceiue ye how yee preuaile nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.

¶ Neuerthelesse, among the chiefe rulers also, many beleeued on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confesse him, lest they should be put out of the Synagogue.

Iudas then hauing receiued a band of men, and officers from the chiefe Priests and Pharisees, commeth thither with lanternes and torches, and weapons.
