João 7:48

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

Ver. 48. Have any of the rulers, &c. ] Argumentum stultum, saith Theophylact. Sapientes sapienter in infernum descendunt, saith one. And Potentes potenter torquebuntur, saith another. None so deep in hell as knowing men; they are too wise to be saved by the foolishness of preaching. But Paul, the babbler, must be heard, ere heaven can be had.
