It was pointed out to those foolish ones who wanted to believe: (201:7) "Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?" (201:8) It was repeatedly said that only those ignorant ones who didn't know the book of Moses believed in Christ. These people were misled, and as false as Christ, the leaders warned, saying: (201:9) "...this people who knoweth not the law are cursed." (John 7:49)
(201:10)
