Now there was a man of the Perushim named Nakdimon, a ruler of the Judeans.
Pilate called together the chief Kohanim and the rulers and the people,
Nakdimon, who at first came to Yeshua by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
Yeshua answered him, *Are you the teacher of Yisra'el, and don't understand these things?
Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah?
