According to John 12: 42, “many even of the rulers actually put faith in [Jesus], but they would not acknowledge him because of the Pharisees, so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue. ”
Tekstis Johannese 12: 42 öeldakse: „Siiski hakkasid paljud ülemadki temasse [Jeesusesse] uskuma, aga variseride pärast ei tunnistanud nad teda, et neid kogudusest välja ei heidetaks. ”
