Commentary on John 12:42
Theological / DevotionalAmong the chief rulers. In contrast with the blindness of the nation.
Did not confess. Rather, “continued not to confess.” Nevertheless here was the answer to the question posed some time earlier, “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?” (ch. 7:48). Some later did confess Him openly, as, for example, Nicodemus (ch. 19:39; cf. ch. 3:1) and Joseph of Arimathaea (see on Matt. 27:57).
Put out. See on ch. 9:22.
