Who are the rulers in Joh 12:42-43

 

Jhn 12:42  Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;

雖然如此，官長中卻有好些信他的，只因法利賽人的緣故，就不承認，恐怕被趕出會堂。

Jhn 12:43  for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

這是因他們愛人的榮耀過於愛神的榮耀。
