Barnes' Notes
The Pharisees. The sect possessing wealth, and office, and power. The name Pharisees sometimes denotes those who were high in honour and authority.
Believed on him. Is there any instance in which those who are high in rank or in office have embraced him as the Messiah? This shows the rule by which they judged of religion.
1st. They claimed the right of regulating the doctrines and rites of religion.
2nd. They repressed the liberty of private judgment, stifled investigation, assumed that a new doctrine must be heresy, and laboured to keep the people in inglorious bondage.
