“Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?”
John 7:48 (KJV)
Commentary on John 7:48
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? The Pharisees appeal to authority—no rulers or Pharisees believe, implying belief would be foolish. This argument from elite consensus dismisses the common people's faith. Yet it's false—Nicodemus (verse 50) was a Pharisee ruler who believed, as was Joseph of Arimathea (John 19:38-39). More rulers believed secretly (John 12:42) but feared confession. The appeal to authority fallacy substitutes expert opinion for truth investigation.
